    "content": "However, that alone should not negate the importance of people. There is a good organisation called Maasai Conservation Trust, which has leased a lot of land in Kajiado, one of which is Kuku Group Ranch. They realised that there was a huge conflict between the Maasai and the lions because every time the lions attacked the Maasai cows, the Maasai would go out there and kill them. What did they do? They came out with a surcharge of US$101a night for any guests that visit their camps. They would collect this money, put it in a kitty and use it for compensation. This Government can learn from such initiatives. In the last two years alone, that surcharge had grown to over US$400, which is about over Kshs40 million. What has been set by the law in terms of the amount to be compensated for people who are killed is very little. Sometimes I think we miss a lot of opportunities by not tapping into the Dollars that are brought into this country."
