    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. The issue of human wildlife conflict has been with us for a long time, but we have been co-existing with this wildlife for some time, especially the pastoralists. There is, however, now the issue of population increase. I have been a Member of the Committee on Lands, Environment, and Natural Resources in the previous Session. One issue that the Government seriously needs to take into account is budgeting for compensation. We have been following up, and you will find that there are many cases, which have been approved by the county wildlife management and conservation committees. However, when they come to Nairobi, the Cabinet Secretary (CS) will tell you that we do not have the budget for that. Therefore, they need to make sure that they provide enough budgetary allocations. The KWS also needs to sensitize communities, establish proper wildlife corridors and have a relationship with the communities, to ensure that they minimize that conflict. When there is a conflict, they should be proactive, so that the community can only bear with the wildlife, if they are compensated for any damage that will occur. Thank you."
