Mbadi, who is my dear friend, will always be seen. Some constituents were telling me that I should speak frequently like the Leader of the Majority Party because he is ever there. However, they do not understand that the Leader of the Majority Party is different; he is not like me. So, they quarrel with me that I do not speak to the Motions raised in this House and yet, I am not really given that time. So, hon. Speaker, change your tactics so that you give room to those who have never had enough time in this House to ...

The Bill is very good because we want to protect our wildlife. Our animals are a resource that has been given to us by God. Tourism is a major income generating activity in this country because wildlife attracts people from all over the world. So, the Bill has very good intentions in terms of protecting wild animals and ensuring that people who live near conservation areas are given an opportunity to conserve wildlife.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, people have been complaining about the amount of money that has been quoted for compensation. I am a Member of this Committee and I know that the figure will change to Kshs3 million. This is because the Kshs1 million is too low. I believe that this Bill has very good intentions. The Endowment Fund has been created by the Bill and it can be used to offer other services like research in wildlife.

This Bill says that everybody has reasonable access to wildlife resources. It also allows sustainable utilization of this resource. The Bill also protects wildlife. The Bill discourages pollution in the wildlife conservation areas. It also aims at protecting wildlife from being destroyed by hunters, especially those who do wild meat business. The penalty of Kshs200,000 that has been indicated in the Bill is not for small time poachers or those who practice hunting. It is supposed to deter those who do wild meat business. The Bill also provides for licensing and regulations on practicing wildlife. This country is endowed with ...

Thank you very much, hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I rise to support the Kenya Deposit Insurance (Amendment) Bill. The essence of this Bill is to promote the depositors in our financial institutions. We want to create financial discipline in terms of proper management of our institutions so that our depositors can be guaranteed their monies whenever they require them.

without this insurance, whenever the depositors want to access their deposits they will be having problems if they are not really protected. So, I want to support this Bill and say this will go a long way in encouraging a saving culture in this country.

Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, if we do not save we cannot invest. We want to encourage the small businesspeople, that is the mama mbogas and the youth to deposit money that they realise out of their small businesses into this financial institution and as a result of that they can go for loans so that they can expand their businesses. In the long run, they will also do a lot of major investments.
