    "content": "Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker, for giving me a chance to add my voice to this very important Motion by my colleague Sen. Mwaruma. I congratulate him for thinking about this important aspect of a resource in his county and in the whole Republic of Kenya. Sen. Mwaruma is concerned with wildlife because half of his County of Taita Taveta are ranches of wildlife conservation that still hosts a bigger percentage of wildlife in this Republic. Tourism is an important economic aspect in this Republic that we should take care of just like sugarcane, livestock or any form of a cash crop. It contributes to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and the beauty of this country. Therefore, when Sen. Mwaruma talks about how we can coexist and be innovative in terms of building this sector, he is thinking progressively for this country. Madam Temporary Speaker, as I listened to him move this Motion, I thought that it should have contained an aspect of the implementation of a Bill that was passed in 2017, that is, the Wildlife Conservation and Management (Amendment) Bill, 2017, which was an amendment of the mother Act of 2013. The Bill is equally important because it contained the same issues that he talks about in his Motion. The only problem is that it has never been fully implemented. On issues of compensation, the Bill lays a good framework on who should be compensated, the percentage of compensation, the timing and the establishment of County Wildlife Conservation Compensation Committees (CWCCC) to develop a system of compensation. However, as we speak today, the CWCCC are in place but are not The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
