    "content": "frequently attacking and killing people and livestock such as goats and sheep, and destroying crops. These losses have devastated livelihoods, undermined community security, and severely affected the socio-economic well-being of residents. Further, residents around Chemeng’wa, Kinyang’a, Lugumek, Kobolwo, Kosia, Nogirwet, Kapkulumben, Chebelion, Kaboson, Kamosiro, Kamongil, Kaptumo, and their environs, largely depend on casual work offered by conservancies and large-scale farmers across the river. Many also rely on sand harvesting activities along riverbanks to earn a living, put food on the table, and pay school fees. However, their lives are now endangered by the growing crocodile menace that makes daily survival increasingly perilous. It is against this background that I request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Tourism and Wildlife on the following: 1. A detailed report on the measures taken by the ministry and the Kenya Wildlife Service to mitigate human-wildlife conflict in Chepalungu Constituency and the wider Bomet County. 2. An explanation for the delayed response by KWS officers in the incident involving the late Kelvin Kipkemoi Ng’etich, and steps taken to ensure such delays do not recur. 3. Information on the compensation, if any, provided to the family of the deceased and other victims of wildlife attacks in the constituency; 4. Details of long-term strategies the ministry is implementing to prevent loss of life, protect livelihoods, and secure communities from recurring wildlife threats. 5. Plans by the ministry to assist affected communities, for instance construction of at least two footbridges across the river under the Kenya Wildlife Service’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programmes to enhance residents’ safety. I thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
