"content": "Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. I will try to be very brief. I would like to thank the Nominated Member from Laikipia North, Hon. Sara, for bringing this Petition. Human-wildlife conflict is an issue that seems not to be going away in this country. Last year, we passed the Wildlife Compensation Bill and we stipulated very well how cases of compensation are supposed to be handled, which was assented to by the President. The biggest problem has been implementation of this law. There are people who have had claims of compensation in the constituencies and their files are in the offices, but nothing seems forthcoming. On Sunday morning, elephants walked in to a village and despite the fact KWS offices are located near the Meru National Park, it took them a whole day to drive them away. I think there is laxity to compensate farmers and drive away the animals. We should address this problem before the community takes the law into their own hands and gets rid of the animals. I support."
