    "content": "Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I want to congratulate the Committee, which worked very hard on this document. I believe that it is time that, as Kenyans, we protect these resources through laws that are applicable to Kenyans. There are three issues that we need to address in order to bring on board the stakeholders, so that we can harmonise them. One of them is the issue of compensation. I have heard hon. Nkaissery speak about it. It is important that we look at the issue of compensation for human life losses. Just imagine a bread winner of a household being harmed or killed by wildlife. We are proposing that we give his family a compensation of Kshs1 million or Kshs3 million. That was the only bread winner in that household. What will happen to the generation behind that person? We need to look for ways of providing for clear compensation to such families, so that they can continue with their normal lives. As hon. Maj-Gen. Nkaissery said, probably, the communities surrounding these parks do not benefit from those parks. We should anchor everything within the law so that these people who live around the parks benefit from the resources.
