    "content": "Yesterday, an elephant killed somebody in Kibwezi East and wananchi refused to release the body until this afternoon when the Kenya Wildlife Society (KWS), together with the police officers, went there and teargassed them. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I look forward to an answer from the Committee, the Cabinet Secretary (CS) in charge of Tourism and Wildlife, the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) and the KWS. This is now becoming a matter of criminal nature. There has been criminal negligence on the part of KWS officers. They have reports that elephants are there and yet they let them wander. The county government has done a perimeter wire. All they needed to do since Monday was to take the animals across, so that they are unable to come back to Kibwezi East. The matter has really escalated. I look forward to seeing the Directorate of Public Prosecutions (DPP) so that we can pursue criminal prosecution on criminal negligence charges on the death of this particular man. We also need to wake up KWS officers, so that they know that when they neglect their duty and somebody dies, they can be charged in a court of law. I thank you and look forward to quickly receiving an answer on this particular matter so that we save the people of Makueni County from being killed by elephants."
