    "content": "I have in mind situations and cases where fencing is done or some protection mechanism is put in place to contain the wildlife within the conservation areas, national parks or restricted areas, but still there is a possibility of them moving across and destroying farm produce. My only hope is that this policy comes in to solve some of the problems we have been having, one of them being the human-wildlife conflict. This has been a major issue especially where I come from. My constituency is fairly semi-arid and we co-exist with wildlife in conservation areas. Mt. Kenya Forest has elephants and they seem to have a pattern of movement that is not restricted even by the fencing that is done. There is a clear electrical fence that is meant to keep elephants within the park, but we are not sure whether the fence is kept intact. I believe and hope that this policy has prescribed how the management of the fences is supposed to be done. We have cases and incidences where wildlife maneuvers across the fence during a specific time of the year and invade farms.
