    "content": "Location of Esmoo Ward in Keiyo North Constituency have experienced increased cases of invasions and attacks by elephants resulting in loss of lives and livestock and destruction of crops and property in the said areas; THAT, most areas of Esmoo and Tambach wards in Keiyo North Constituency and in particular the schools and public institutions bordering the Rimoi Game Reserve remain unfenced, hence making it easier for the wild animals to stray out of the reserve; THAT, the inaction by the Kenya Wildlife Service and in particular the failure or delay in responding to distress calls from residents has been worrying; THAT, despite numerous cases of human-wildlife conflict having been reported to the relevant authorities, the victims affected are yet to be compensated; THAT, all efforts to resolve the matter have been futile; and, THAT, the matter in respect of which this petition is made is not pending before any court of law or constitutional or legal body. Therefore, your humble petitioners pray that the National Assembly, through the Public Petitions Committee: 1. Ensures that the Government intervenes to cause the Kenya Wildlife Service and other agencies to expeditiously erect perimeter fences along the un-fenced areas bordering, and in particular in Rimoi Sub-location, Kiptuilong and Kamogich locations of Tambach Ward; Chegilet and Kabulwo sub-locations and Keu Location of Esmoo Ward in Keiyo North Constituency; 2. Recommends that the Government increases the number of Kenya Wildlife Service posts or camps in the affected human-wildlife conflict areas bordering the reserve for efficient surveillance and prompt response to distress calls on stray wildlife to human settlements; 3. Recommends that policy regarding human-wildlife conflict is effected appropriately, and in particular expeditious and timely compensation of victims and their families for loss of lives and livestock; and, destruction of property and crops; 4. Recommends that the Kenya Wildlife Service undertake Corporate Social Responsibility (CRS) to communities around the Reserve and in particular through drilling and renovation of school boreholes, scholarships and job opportunities among others; and, 5. Makes any other recommendation or action it deems fit in addressing the plight of the petitioners."
