    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, we have a problem in this country, where those people who die as a result of the human-wildlife conflicts are only compensated with Kshs5 million. We find this to be unfair to Kenyans because Kshs5 million today is not of the same value as the Kshs5 million at the time when the law was enacted. We should engage in amending this Law, so that those victims of human-wildlife conflicts can be comfortably compensated. (1)Engage the National Treasury and other stakeholders on the matter of mining royalties and the status of disbursements to communities. On this one, Madam Temporary Speaker, we are lucky that we have a Bill in the House that was brought by Sen. (Dr.) Zani – The Natural Resources (Benefit Sharing) Bill, 2018 – which will deal with sharing of resources. This Bill proposes that the communities residing in the counties where resources are coming from should be adequately compensated in order to make them feel that they are taken care of like other Kenyans. It also proposes that those county governments should be funded well, so as to carry on their mandate. That is the end of my Statement on the last six months, from January to date. Thank you, Madam Temporary Speaker."
