    "content": "Hon. Temporary Speaker, in the recent past, runaway hyenas have been causing mayhem to the residents of Juja Constituency and its environs. In a span of a few months, hyenas have attacked several people and caused deaths of more than eight people. On Saturday, 18th November 2023, a young boy named Emmanuel Kamande of Birth Certificate Entry No.0361306229, lost his life following an attack by hyenas while innocently playing outdoors in Nyacaba Area. On Saturday, 2nd December 2023, at around 6.00 a.m., Miss Joyce Wambui Ngombi of ID No.36006245 was mauled to death by hyenas on her way to work. Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker, these distressing occurrences have instilled fear and apprehension in the residents of Juja. Hyena attacks have also hindered the once untroubled outdoor activities by children and severely restricted residents’ daily activities at night and in the early morning hours due to safety concerns. The hyenas are believed to be hibernating in abandoned quarries in Ndarugo area in Juja. They attack residents and retreat to hide there. Of concern is that no measures have been instituted so far to ensure the safety of residents and prevent further tragic incidents occasioned by the marauding hyenas. Hon. Temporary Speaker, it is on this background that I seek a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on the following: 1. The circumstances under which the runaway hyenas have been roaming within Juja and Ruiru areas without the intervention of the Kenya Wildlife Services (KWS). 2. The steps that the Ministry is taking to round up the stray hyenas within Juja and Ruiru and contain them in appropriate game reserves and parks. 3. The measures the Ministry has taken to compensate the victims of these attacks - those who sustained injuries and the families of those who lost their loved ones due to attacks by the hyenas. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
