    "content": "Ganze, PAA): Hon. Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I rise to request for a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Tourism and Wildlife regarding the serious human wildlife conflicts currently being experienced in parts of Ganze Constituency. In the recent past, Mitangani, Bamba, Bandari, Ndigiria, Mrima wa Ndege and Mwahera locations in Ganze Constituency are experiencing an influx of unprecedented large herds of elephants invading farms and residential areas. The said areas received rains after a debilitating drought that lasted for seven consecutive seasons. The matter was reported to Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) officers stationed in Gede in Malindi whose response has been lethargic. As a result, for the last three months, elephants have been roaming freely in residential and agricultural areas with no meaningful interventions by KWS. School attendance has dropped almost by half in schools like Migujini, Midoina, Jira, Rimarapera, Mitangani and Managoni owing to this menace, as it is too risky for students to walk to school. Even for those who attend school, classes start late in the morning and close early to enable students to be at home before dusk. A number of lives have also been lost as a result of this menace. Two persons, namely Safari Luganje Kaviha of identification card No.20902603 from Makalongoni Village, Mwangea Sub-location, Mwaera Location; and Kalume Tambo Karisa of identification card The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."
