    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I would like to support the Statement by the Kiambu Senator, Sen. Thang'wa of a lady who was eaten by a hyena in Juja Constituency. We have heard of these cases. I thought such cases were happening in counties that are next to wildlife parks. Unfortunately, this time it is happening in a very active industrial town. We cannot be losing our people to disease, floods, hunger then lose lives to wildlife. It is sad. I would like to say that, swift action should be taken to ensure that these animals are located and taken back to where they belong. I understand that could be also happening because of the current pressure we are encountering of, human beings growing in numbers, especially in towns, and encroachment is happening to areas where wildlife would have otherwise been. However, the results are very sad. This is not the first time. The other time we saw a lion that was loitering around areas within town. If we cannot protect ordinary people, then I do not see sense in yesterday's standoff. It is an opportunity for us leaders, to also experience what the ordinary people undergo every day. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I support and hope the responsible Ministry will be answerable to what Sen. Thang'wa has raised, not just in Juja, but everywhere else. We have seen these incidences in areas like Athi River, that is Kajiado County and many others. We must sort out the issue of human-wildlife conflict. Thank you."
