    "content": "It is vice versa, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. If we allocate this Kshs250 million to fence the Tsavo West National Park, we will save the taxpayer almost over Kshs4 billion in form of compensation. Taita Taveta County is also in Arid and Semi-Arid Lands (ASAL). My colleagues are saying that we should not take money from ASAL areas and yet Taita Taveta is also an ASAL area. If we take this money and fence the Tsavo West National Park, we will save the country almost Kshs4 billion in the next financial year. This is because over 60 per cent of the compensation money goes to that area. If we spend this Kshs250 million, we will save a lot of taxpayers’ money. Yesterday, I initiated a Motion to urge the Government to provide all primary schools with tapped water since it has also connected them to electricity and started school feeding programmes."
