    "content": "Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, the other issue that we are very concerned about as a Committee is this issue of ceiling. We understand that Treasury does not have enough money, but I was concerned with the money that was given to the Ministry of Environment, Water and Natural Resources. Last year, we passed the Wildlife Management Act which says that all those people who are killed by animals should be compensated according to the Act. However, up to now, we still have so many people being killed by wildlife but the Government is not compensating them. That is why we told the Ministry of Environment, Water and Natural Resources to increase certain amounts of money so that we can compensate these communities, otherwise they would not see the benefit of having these wild animals. These wild animals help our economy particularly the tourism sector. I was a little bit concerned because the money that we have suggested as the Budget and Appropriations Committee to be increased to Kshs3 billion is not captured in this Budget Policy Statement (BPS).
