    "content": "Okay, Mr. Temporary Speaker, Sir. We should interrogate whether these compensations that KWS gives families upon death and injuries are reasonable and proper. When a life is lost, the compensation is just about Kshs100,000. This is not enough. It is so immoral as a country, that we can expose our own citizens to harm by failing in our responsibility to protect them in areas that are of wildlife nature. The fact that when a life is lost, the compensation is Kshs100,000 is the reason we do not do much to protect our people. If today the Government of Kenya knew that for every life, they will pay Kshs10,000,000, no life will be lost. One can easily part with Kshs100,000. Most of us here, a sum of Kshs100,000 is a cup of tea. Most of us spend Kshs100,000 for very mundane activities here and there, once in a while. These families are poor. These areas are poor. Therefore by paying Kshs100,000, we relegate them to further poverty."
