    "content": "look for mechanism of capping abuse. There were cases where farmers in Narok complained of crop destruction, especially large scale farmers who use helicopters and airplanes to spray their crops. They would drive wildlife into their farms so that the Ministry would compensate them. Therefore, we are protecting the Government while at the same time ensuring that small-scale farmers who are really affected by the destruction of their livestock and crops are compensated. We have heard a lot of complaints about the low compensation when community members living around wildlife areas are killed, maimed or disabled by wildlife. We were torn between going to the extreme of giving very high and very low compensation that was proposed by the Ministry. We reached a middle ground by appreciating that the money to compensate these people will come from the Exchequer. For us who hold the purse, we must take our responsibility of ensuring that we balance the two; that the Exchequer is not overtly punished and the people who have been affected are adequately compensated."
