    "content": "In their Petition, the petitioners aver that they are farmers specialising in livestock keeping and cultivation of short rain crops such as maize, beans, sorghum, millet and green grams which are, unfortunately, routinely invaded and destroyed by marauding elephants and other wild animals from Tsavo East and Tsavo West national parks. Their livestock are also attacked and eaten by hyenas, leopards, cheetahs and lions, which also inflict serious injuries and even cause death to residents attempting to save their livestock from the wild animals. Hon. Members, further, the petitioners assert that KWS partners such as David Sheldrick Wildlife Trust, Richard Molla, Kravoss and Marcus Dunn misuse their permits by intentionally releasing wild animals under their care into residents’ farms to ensure that the wild animals access food near Mtito Andei as opposed to venturing deep into the parks in a bid to attract tourists to Mtito Andei market centres. The petitioners claim that the said KWS partners routinely transport wild animals from other parks and dump them into Mtito Andei farms to feast on residents’ harvest, and also regularly beat up area residents without cause despite the presence of local administrators. In addition, the petitioners state that no single Mtito Andei resident has ever received any compensation for farm losses, injuries and loss of lives primarily because their names are deliberately omitted from the KWS compensation data.
