    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have a request for a Statement on the human- wildlife conflict in Kibwezi East Constituency in Makueni County. I rise pursuant to Standing Order No.53(1) to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Land, Environment and Natural Resources regarding human-wildlife conflict in Kibwezi East and Kibwezi West constituencies, among other sub-counties, in Makueni County. In the Statement, the Committee should- (1) Outline measures the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) has taken to deal with the rampant human-wildlife conflict in Masalani, Kyuasini, Ngiluni, Ngomani, Mbetwani, Manguluku, Mwakila, Kathekani, Mberia and Ilikoni locations, among others bordering the Tsavo and Chyulu Game Parks, where many cases of residents being killed or sustaining life-threatening injuries leading to permanent disabilities have been reported, their food and cash crops destroyed and their livestock killed. (2) State when the affected residents would be compensated for the loss they have incurred from the incessant human-wildlife conflict given that some have lost their lives in addition to the animals and crops which they depend on as their source of livelihood. (3) State whether there are any plans by the Ministry of Tourism, Wildlife and Heritage to fence these parks. (4) Spell out measures, if any, to institute sustainable and lasting solutions to the human-wildlife conflict in the said areas. Mr. Speaker, Sir, with your kind permission, I would like to make one Statement. Three days ago, a form four student was killed by a hippo and in the last one week five people have been killed by hippos and wildlife officers around that particular area."
