    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No. 53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Land, Environment and Natural resources on the incessant human wildlife conflict in Lamu County. The Committee should - (1) State the reason for the frequent cases of human-wildlife conflict in Lamu County involving invasion of farms and residential areas by elephants particularly in Mkunumbi, Bahari and Hongwe wards. (2) Explain the reason for the failure by the Kenya Wildlife Services (KWS) in dealing with the menace in view of the destruction of food crops and properties in the area. (3) Apprise the Senate on the number of compensation claims filed in Lamu County in the financial years 2021/2022 and 2022/2023, providing a list of all salutary claims indicating the nature of compensation, the year of the claim, the year the claim was filed and the amounts paid in the respective claims. (4) Cause the KWS to undertake a thorough assessment of the matter and spell out target measures to avert more cases of human-wildlife conflict in the area. I thank you."
