The people next to those parks are the greatest victims of these human-wildlife conflicts. The elephants have destroyed our crops and killed our people, yet you do not get compensation. On the other hand, a child found picking firewood in the park is fined Kshs200,000 on the spot. It is a country of unequal. The animals in our parks live and are treated better than the human beings of this country. It is very unfortunate. I support the Statement."}
