    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, what has happened in this country is that human beings and animals are competing for food and space. We, as human beings, are also to be blamed for encroaching into their natural habitats. If you go to Narok, you will see houses erected in those habitats. We, as Kenyans, are to blame for what is happening. I wish the Senate was tasked with the duty of preparing the budget. The first thing we need to do with the national budget, which Sen. Mutula Kilonzo Jnr. has said benefits the national Government, is to ensure that there is a fund that is set out clearly to compensate human beings. This is because we care so much about the wild animals and not the people. It seems this Government cares a lot about the dollars brought to this country by tourists than our people who are attacked or killed by these animals. If this situation continues, Kenyans may decide to kill all these animals. In fact, some Maasais have killed the lions in Kitengela. It is sad to see their boreholes destroyed by animals. I stood on the Floor of this House and raised issues. Even my father has a claim with the Attorney General since 1980. His crops were destroyed and animals killed, but to date, he has never been compensated. For how long will we continue singing this song of compensation? 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."
