    "content": "colleague is talking about the man he beat in elections. Please, when you win, become magnanimous. You do not want to go and step on that man. Give him space. If he wants to live in the village, let him be. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, I want to support the Member for Mogotio, Daktari. Yes, the KWS has a mandate under the law. The Kenya Forest Service (KFS) has a mandate under the law, but at the same time, the Constitution has given them a mandate on how the people must be treated. You cannot use excessive force against innocent people and particularly the KWS. There is a tendency in our country where wild animals are more precious than human beings. When a lion kills your cows, you should keep quiet, but when you spear a lion you are jailed for 20 years. We need to revisit that Act. Parliament is the one that passed the Act and we are going to re-look at it. We are going to look at the compensation issue. When elephants and hippopotamus invade farms and destroy farms that serious investments have gone into, then it is an issue to think about. So, I support my colleague. Member for Mogotio, please, keep it up. I am sure Zero Hour will be very popular and bring back Members. I used to stay here up to 6.30 p.m. with the Clerks-at-the-Table. We never used to be more than 10 of us. The word has gone around about Zero Hour. I am sure Zero Hour next Tuesday will not be about forests. It will be a very serious political issue that is happening in the country."
