    "content": "It is about compensation. That is the biggest issue and I am happy that the Committee did not delete Clause 3 because I want Members to read it. We are talking of compensation of destruction of livestock, crops and death of human beings. I am happy that the clause on livestock and crops still remains but we have to compensate them based on the market value of what has been maimed, destroyed or killed by wildlife. However, the only issue which I want to disagree with the Committee, and which I want to bring to the attention of the Chair of the Committee is on part 1(c) in terms death and permanent disability. That is clear but on 1(c) which says: “Kshs1 million in case of body injury depending on the extent of the body injury,” this is what I want to draw to the attention of the Members. That is discretionary since it has been left to the authorities. By saying “depending on the extent” it means that whoever is paying can even pay Kshs5,000 and yet you have been maimed or you have a body injury. So, that is why I support the amendment by hon. ole Ntutu by saying a minimum of Kshs1 million and a maximum of Kshs2 million in case of body injury depending on the extent of the body injury such that if you are injured, there is a minimum of Kshs1 million and a maximum of Kshs2 million. So, the authorities can play between those two figures rather than giving it a blanket of Kshs1 million. If it is so they can even pay Kshs5,000 and I can assure you of that."
