    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker. I want to add my voice to this Petition and thank Hon. Mbui for it. Generally, victims of attacks of this kind where some people die and others lose limbs should be compensated. I refer to a case in Ndhiwa where so many victims have not been compensated. Some have lost their livelihoods through wild animals or tsetse fly attacks. So, the Departmental Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs should act. We should be a little bit more strategic. What action are they going to take because there are many things pending on their desk? Are they unable to work or what is going on? My submission is that compensation is not a privilege, especially when it goes through the legal process, whether it is committees or the court system. When victims are awarded, they should be compensated. It is not a privilege. Thank you. The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposes only. Acertified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
