Thank you, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker for this opportunity. I rise to support this Motion from my brother Onesmus Muthomi Njuki and I believe as you have said, it is a precursor to the Bill which is about to come to the House. This Motion, I would say, has come at the right point in time because of the problems we have had with the wildlife-human conflict. Some of them are man-made because the people who are supposed to take care of these animals, maybe are relaxed or they do not take their jobs seriously. When we come to compensation ...

By the same token, we appreciate that wildlife or tourism is a foreign exchange earner, it brings income to our country. Unfortunately, even those people bordering national reserves or game parks rarely get to benefit from the returns which are earned through tourism. That is why there is resentment; that is why there is that feeling by the locals that they better kill the wildlife because they do not earn anything from it. I would like to urge the KWS, when they are doing their budget, let them spare some funds to do some community work within those areas so ...

I agree with hon. Wanyonyi in this amendment because affirmatively, if we are looking at ladies in terms of sanitary towels, we should also look at the disabled persons affirmatively because they have their weaknesses, which are not their wish. They have their shortcomings. We have been informed that the Mover of this amendment is not here because of some physical challenges. That is why he had to leave hon. Kajwang to move the amendment. That should move this House to pass this amendment without much ado. If he was fit as we are, he could be sitting with us ...

Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker for giving me this opportunity. I rise to support the Motion and I also concur with my colleagues that we also have a break. We have not had time to be with our constituents. Now that our needs have been catered for and especially the provision of roads money, we believe that when we go down to our constituencies, we will lay the foundation of how we are going to deliver on our promises and also to attend to other issues.

Thank you, hon. Deputy Speaker. When the Chair was responding he started by saying in his opening remarks that the Government is not aware of any crimes in that particular area, but he went ahead to cite several incidents of crime. So, I am confused. If there were no crimes then why did the Government carry out some arrests and vehicles were posted to some other places? So, in essence if there were no crimes then what was he citing as crimes and who stole cigarettes and biscuits? Were these not crimes?
