    "content": " Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. (a) Yes, I am aware that in the months of March to May, 2008, elephants invaded shambas in Chesuman and Arror locations in Marakwet West, destroying crops. The Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) Problem Animal Control Team deployed to the ground recorded destruction at the following farms belonging to the community: The farms of Julius Chemock, Wilson Chebet, Moses Kiptum, Daniel Kitum, Kibor, Sally Chebuyo, Salome Mark, Mboya Cheboi, Jenipher Philip and Tayptin Sisit. The elephants destroyed bananas and mango trees. (b) Under the current Wildlife Conservation and Management Act, Cap.376, there is no compensation for crops and property damaged or destroyed by wildlife. However, my Ministry has initiated a review of Cap.376 of the Wildlife Conservation and Management Act of 1989 with a view to exploring sustainable options for compensation. As the law stands now, the only compensation under the Wildlife Conservation and Management Act, Cap.376, is for injury and death caused by wildlife."
