    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, there is need for compensation. We, as a country, cannot run away from it. Human life is precious and it cannot be compared to that of wildlife. Why should we continue to protect animals at the expense of our people? There is need for us to fence off forests, where these animals are. Yes, it true that these animals attract tourists to come our country, and we earn foreign exchange. However, if the disadvantages of tourism overrides its advantages, then we need to think about the whole issue of tourism. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I urge the Committee on Tourism, Trade and Industrialization to take up this matter seriously, and ensure that all key stakeholders appear before it, and we will deliberate and see what has been done. There is need for the Senate to make an intensive follow up for all the Petitions that come on the Floor of this House, so that we serve wananchi better . Kenyans are looking at us to see what we are doing, as a Senate. We should not be a toothless bull dog, and watch helpless as wananchi continue to suffer. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to support this Petition."
