    "content": "Resolution number two under the Ministry of Environment, Water and Natural Resources is for the enhancement of claims for persons killed and crops destroyed by wild animals based on a Motion moved by Hon. Onesmus Njuki. The Committee notes that the enactment of the Wildlife Conservation and Management Act of 2013 has addressed the concerns of the Resolution. We noted that this Act provides a generous compensation scheme which is much higher than the amount that has been proposed under the Resolution. The Act proposes Kshs5 million, against the proposed Kshs1 million under the Resolution but we are aware that full implementation of this Act is still pending. I had a discussion with Hon. Amina, the Chairperson of the Committee on Environment, Water and Natural Resources. I am made to understand that the Regulation is what is delaying the full implementation of this Act. We shall continue to follow up on this matter and seek periodic reports from the relevant agencies to verify compliance. Under the Ministry of Environment, Water and Natural Resources a resolution on measures taken to curb poaching based on a Motion moved by Hon. Chachu Ganya, we note that the concerns of these resolutions have been addressed through the Wildlife Conservation and Management Act. We shall continue seeking periodic reports on compliance from the relevant agencies. Under the Ministry of Agriculture, Livestock and Fisheries, we followed up on the Resolution for the setting up of a fertilizer board. This is based on a Motion moved by Hon. Chrisanthus Wamalwa. We note that the House passed the Fertilizer and Animal Foodstuffs Bill on 18th of June, 2014 which provides for the setting up of a fertilizer board. That Bill was passed to the Senate. I think it was brought back with amendments which we did not agree with and it was taken for mediation. We shall continue to follow up on this important Bill. Secondly, we had a Motion by Hon. James Bett on review of farm gate prices of milk to Kshs45 per litre. We note that the Ministry, in conjunction with the Kenya Dairy Board, has The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly.
