    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Chairman, Sir, I beg to oppose that amendment. This is a Committee of the Executive and county governments. To put a Member of the Legislature in this Committee will be unconstitutional. So, I will not support this. I am just considering the logistics. Secondly, there are counties that have 13 Members of Parliament and the entire county has a larger percentage covering protected areas. Seriously, if this amendment goes through, we will be bogging this committee down with numbers. We will also be proposing something that is not constitutional. Thirdly, we will be denying Members of Parliament the right of appeal. This is because if a compensation committee does not serve you well, you have this Floor to deal with it or you have the opportunity to call the Cabinet Secretary who is, in this new Bill, the person dealing with compensation and not the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS). Hon. Members, I oppose this amendment for those reasons."
