    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. There seems to be misinformation on what the Chairperson of Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources is answering regarding the leopard menace in Chepalungu Constituency. They came almost after two months when we had already sorted ourselves the best way we knew. What I understand is that if we do not take care of wild animals in their protected areas, they will take care of us; they will feed on us. I do not understand why the Budget and Appropriations Committee, in its wisdom or lack of the same, decided to give Kshs500 million to the Environment Department for compensation for victims of human-wildlife conflict across the country. Currently, it stands at Ksh6 billion for compensation of what wildlife have messed up with human beings. It is very important going forward that the Budget and Appropriations Committee looks at human wildlife conflict as a priority. Human rights are animal rights or rather human rights are anthropocentric in nature. The KWS has a number of officers who are able to take care of all conservancies in Kenya. Going forward, if possible, the KWS should be given enough money to employ energetic youths who are able to take care of wild animals. They should also make sure that they fence all conservancies across Kenya so that animals do not get out of their conservancy areas.
