    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to ventilate a little on this particular petition by my sister, Hon. Kajuju. I come from Meru County and this petition has come at the right time. I would request the Committee to which the petition is committed to do it expediently and urgently. Our people have suffered a lot and this has been a perennial problem. Wildlife-human conflict in Meru has become a thorn in the flesh. Animals not only damage crops, but they also kill people. There is a corridor which joins the Meru National Park to the Mount Kenya Forest where the KWS has taken little, if any, action to separate human beings from animals. The fences that they erected are substandard to the extent that they do not last even for one season. At the end of the day, people live in fear of the animals. They cannot predict their harvests because of the animals. For example, in Kajomu where we have the Meru National Park, people are ever fighting with animals like monkeys, baboons, buffaloes and other animals. This has become a problem and once the KWS officers are told, they are slow in action. We need them to be fast. They should also erect proper fences. The Committee should deal with this petition as fast as possible, so that we do not continue losing lives."
