    "content": "Mr. Deputy 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 Laikipia County. In the Statement, the committee should- (1) Explain the reasons for the inaction by the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) in dealing with the incessant destruction of food crops by elephants, zebras, buffaloes and other wildlife despite the numerous complaints by the residents of Laikipia County especially the areas of Nibrom, Kafage, Muramati, Sirare, Mutara, Mbogoine et cetera . (2) State the compensation measures and mechanisms in place to compensate families affected by this conflict, particularly stating the measures the government is taking to compensate the family of one Guthua Waweru Kamoche, who was killed by an elephant at Silale near Nyahururu; (3) Cause the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) to set up base at Silale and undertake a thorough assessment of lost produce and provide compensation to the affected farmers; and (4) Recommend measures such as putting up of electric fences by KWS to avert possible human wildlife conflicts in this area given that the residents feel aggrieved by the problem of animals. Thank you, Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir."
