Thank you very much Madam Temporary Speaker, Sir, for this chance to second this Motion on the compensation to victims of human-wildlife conflict. I wish to thank Sen. Mwaruma for bringing such an important Motion affecting our people. Issues of human-wildlife conflict have been on the rise and if this is not checked, it shall worsen. At Independence, the environment of our country was fairly intact; we had rivers flowing naturally, the vegetation covered large parts of our country and it was home to many of our wildlife that in this case were also feeding on the fruits that were ...

roads. As Sen. Mwaruma put it, the value of animals in our country can never be underscored. They bring a lot of money in terms of tourism which goes back to improving our lives. However, the activities that have gone on have led to pollution, poor land and water resource management, and in this case, climate change that has set in which has led to the drying up of the rivers. Apart from that, the animals‟ lives have been reversed in such a way that even their feeding methods are no longer as usual. I think it will be common ...

I think this also begs the question; as far as I know, baboons and monkeys belong to the animal kingdom the way the animals I have mentioned do. Therefore, it means that these people injured in Nakuru county will never receive any compensation.

I urge the KWS to look into this matter because sometimes the lives of people who have been affected by human-wildlife change completely. Some lose their limbs if they survive, while others lose eyes, hands and so on. As a result, their lives will change forever.

Madam Temporary Speaker, the importance of this Motion can never be overstated. I hope that the concerned people are listening to us this afternoon, so that they can take action as soon as possible. I hope that they will take stern and serious action, particularly against those who have denied our people compensation.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise to second this important Bill. It came from our Committee on Information, Communication and Technology. With the advent of technology, we have realised that many people use personal or economic data and very many others, to fight wars.

This Bill is very important based on the fact that it provides a principle framework to protect personal data, in line with Article 31 of the Constitution. It states that every individual has a right to privacy in terms of data and private communication and their family affairs not to be revealed.

Mr. Speaker, Sir, this Bill will go a long way to help this country. Clause 4(a), (b), (c) and (d) explains very well how information will be collected, how it should be used and how it should not be used without the consent of the individual. It further stipulates how important information, for example, which is required in cases of crime, corruption, national security and maybe of public interest, is handled. Therefore, this Bill clearly states how this data will be treated so that while an individual has a right to data protection, there is such data which is important ...
