    "content": "Governments Act, Section 118(2) on implementation of specific national policies on natural resources and environment conservation. Madam Temporary Speaker, I plead and agree with the suggestion that we must have adequate funds to compensate people promptly and efficiently. This should be done by the national Government. I also plead with county governments to assist in whatever income they get from the national parks in their areas. They should set aside something to ensure that people affected by wild animals are promptly paid. More importantly, they should work in conjunction with the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) to ensure that whenever there is any complaint of any wild animal that has gone astray and destroyed the lives and property of the people, that particular animal is dealt with properly and in a humane manner and sent to its proper environment. I support this Motion and commend the Mover, the Senator of Taita Taveta County who has brought it to help everybody. More importantly, he is concerned with the welfare of his people of Taita Taveta but it will help the entire nation. Madam Temporary Speaker, some of us believe in animal conservation. Therefore, this Motion will help Kenya to preserve a peaceful environment for the animals and the people, which is necessary. It is in that peaceful environment that we shall be able to create more wealth for this country because tourism is a resource which we are proud of. Particularly, Nairobi is the only city in the world which has a national park nearby. I thank Sen. Mwaruma for bringing this Motion which will help everyone including his own people of Taita Taveta. Madam Temporary Speaker, with those few remarks, I support."
