    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. First, let me thank the Chair, hon. Abdalla, not only for giving me this opportunity, but also for ably being in charge of a Committee that has given us a very good Bill. First, as it has been said by hon. Baiya, the Bill brings out public participation and that is the most important aspect of this Bill where the public, in areas where we have wildlife, the public is involved in the management. They can also have their private wildlife conservancies. Secondly, it is the aspect of compensation. I come from near the Nakuru National Park and it has been a problem, not so much with the other animals, but with the baboons. In my area, women no longer wear skirts because baboons have realised that women wear skirts and men are in trousers. Women within the national park wear trousers, so that baboons just see people in trousers. Baboons have destroyed roofs in this area. The aspect of compensation has come out very clearly in the Bill. The other issue is about environmental pollution. Lake Nakuru is almost gone because of the effluent from Industrial Area within the Nakuru County. This is affecting our national park. The offences and the penalties proposed for pollution of the national parks is a welcome idea. These industries make a lot of money, but at the end of the day, they emit residues and effluent, which destroy the eco-system of the Nakuru National Park. The fines, as indicated, are appropriate."
