    "content": "Madam Deputy Speaker, I rise under Standing Order 48(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee On Lands, Environment and Natural Resources on the incessant human-elephant conflict in Najilel Area of Ewaso Kedong, Olokiring’a and Sarishishe areas of Kajiado County. In the statement, the Committee should: - (i) Outline the long-term strategies put in place by the Kenya Wildlife Services to ensure that encroachment of elephants into residential areas and farming communities to disrupt livelihoods is dealt with permanently. This is the fourth or fifth statement that I have brought before this House on the issue of human-wildlife conflict. (ii) State the compensation measures and mechanisms in place to compensate the families affected by this conflict giving the details of the amounts and individuals compensated particularly stating the measures that the Government is taking to compensate the family of Mr. Isaack Lenkaiya Koruta from Iltila Location, Oyarata Sub-Location in Kajiado South Constituency who was brutally attacked at Boijo area by the elephants while he was herding his animals. (iii)Apprise the Senate on the policies, if any, to relocate the elephants to public game reserves so that they do not meander into private farms. (iv) Outline the targeted interventions, if any, to ensure continued schooling by school going children whose safety and school attendance has been affected by the presence of the roaming elephants causing high absenteeism from school."
