    "content": "Madam Temporary Speaker, indeed, the ruling that you have made is perfect for this situation. In view of the fact that this pushing is a continuous exercise and it is happening all the time, would I be in order to request that in your ruling, you actually rule that the Committee should give us a report at the end of every month? What is happening is a matter of emergency and a serious issue of global concern. In doing so, I would also urge that the Chairman responds to the matter of human-elephant conflict. It is very well for us to protect the elephants and we should do so with all the energy that we can master. At the same time there is serious destruction that is currently going on among the peasant farmers in Taita and Nyeri, Kieni Constituency. After growing of maize on small shambas for a whole year, elephants go there and clear them overnight. Those people must be compensated from the money that we get from tourism. Unless we do that, elephants will always be the enemy of the people and those people who are growing on small shambas will always be against those elephants. In giving the Statement that you have directed the Chairman to give, he should address the matter of human-wildlife conflict and the compensation to human beings, their crops and their economic activities."
