    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, yesterday, we were cut off by time and we were prepared to give a response to the Statement sought by Sen. Wangari on the Kenya Wildlife Service Community Enterprise Development. At the sitting of the Senate held on 12th February, 2015, the Senator requested to know:- (a) what the status of the project is, in terms of annual budget, beneficiaries and structures of administration; (b) what the criteria of selecting communities to benefit from the programmme is; (c) how the community around Lake Nakuru National Park benefited from this project considering it is one of the biggest national parks in the country; and, (d) what the current status of the County Wildlife Conservation is and compensation committees that are provided for by the Wildlife Conservation and Management Act, 2013 I beg to reply as follows:- The Kenya Wildlife Service established the Community Enterprise Development (CED) as part of its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) to support local people who interact with wildlife across the country. This support is usually in form of issuance of wildlife user rights, capacity building, governance, training programmes, exchange visits, business feasibility studies, community scouts training subsidies, product value addition, marketing programmes, joint wildlife and tourist security patrols in the communities and private conservancies. In some cases, the support entails construction of electric barriers, water projects, school bursaries, compensation for human death, injury or loss of property that results from human wildlife conflict especially in hotspot areas. Mr. Speaker, Sir, in terms of budget, the KWS Community Enterprise Development solely depends on various development partners and joint funding in partnership with other stakeholders such as relevant Government institutions including the Constituencies Development Fund (CDF) and County Development Fund for The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposes only. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
