    "content": " Hon. Deputy Speaker, I rise to ask the Cabinet Secretary for Tourism, Wildlife and Heritage the following Question: Could the Cabinet Secretary – (a) Explain the steps being taken to contain wild animals in Tsavo East and Tsavo West National Parks in Taita Taveta County within the parks and end invasion of human settlements in Kishushe, Mlilo, Paranga, Marungu, Mwaroko Sagalla, Kasigau, Mbololo, Ndii, Ngolia and Mabomani, Landi, Rong'e, Mwatate, Bura, Mkuki, Maktau, Salaita, Tangini, Njoro, Mata, Orkung’u, Kachero, Jipe and Mkwajuni? (b) Confirm whether the electric fence around the parks is working, and when the section without an electric fence will be fenced? (c) Consider alternative interventions to wildlife invasion in Taita Taveta like a dedicated helicopter and hiring of youth from within the county to provide immediate response to wildlife invasion as game rangers and scouts, given the long turnaround time taken by Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) officers to respond to wildlife invasion? (d) List watering points in the Tsavo East and Tsavo West National Parks, including the state of Aruba Dam and steps being taken to ensure that the dam continues to provide water to the animals within the parks? (e) Provide details of the number of claims arising from wildlife attacks in Taita Taveta County in the last seven years, how many have been submitted, approved and paid, and when pending claims will be paid? Thank you, Hon. Deputy Speaker."
