    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, of course, I am satisfied that it is mentioned, but whether its issues are raised and whether in the discussion the Committee looked at the issues that affect it, is what I am saying I do not see the input of the Committee. That is why I am asking the Committee that when it is relooking and bringing amendments to the Bill, they relook at what happens when land owned by the Government is used by the same Government to build roads, for example. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, why I say this was unfair and went against the Constitution is because the protection of the national park is guaranteed. But this was done because of not wanting to touch the big shots; the rich people in Nairobi. When roads were being built in areas where commoners lived, buildings were brought down in the name of constructing the bypass. But this particular one, because you know the owners of the buildings that are along Mombasa Road, it was bypassed. I would want to see this happen again. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, in Nairobi when you want to buy meat from a butchery you pray to God that it is beef because most of the time you can be eating wild meat. I cannot see how we can stop the rampant abuse of game meat in Nairobi because most Nairobians love eating nyama choma. This may not be something big in terms of wildlife conservation and management, but it affects Nairobians and Kenyans. Therefore, I would want the committee to look at bigger issues. Women in Tana River are always attacked by crocodiles when they go to fetch water. I think compensation for such cases is a joke. I do not think Kshs3 million is enough to repay the life of a woman. Therefore, I am asking that Nairobi be considered in the issues we have enumerated."
