of death is Kshs5 million; and in case of injury is Kshs3 million. Why is it that when a Kenyan is found killing wildlife the penalty is harsh, but when somebody loses life, we just give minimal compensation? Wildlife cannot be underscored since it is the pride of Kenya. Kenya is known because of unique wildlife we have; the famous wildebeests that cross River Mara all the way to Serengeti.

Madam Temporary Speaker, I am properly informed by bishop Sen. Wambua. I agree. Even if it is not the Senator himself, the representative of the Senator can chair. We need to be careful.

Madam Temporary Speaker, Desalination. You know those words came with the proverbial “ meli”. There is also the famous issue of the dam in Murang’a County where you come from.
