    "content": "Thank you, Hon. Speaker for giving me this opportunity to support the Petition by Hon. Mwadime. Human-wildlife conflicts in Kenya have become a daily phenomenon and it high time the authorities or the powers that be addressed this issue once and for all. I do not see why animals live on very vast land which should otherwise have been occupied by people. The animals have now occupied the entire area to an extent that they cannot be contained and yet the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) has very many game rangers. This is because the KWS recruits game rangers every year. Why can they not contain those animals? We know that there are wild animals which live in zoos. They live in the middle of cities with people but they never interfere with the people’s daily lives. In Kenya, wild animals stray into homesteads after traversing thousands of acres of land. Somebody somewhere is negligent. Finally, I brought a petition on 2nd June, pertaining to land issues which are very sensitive. The petition was committed to the Committee on Lands. When I sought clarification last time, the Vice-Chair of the Committee gave an undertaking to ensure that the petition is expedited but to date, it has not been dealt with. I can see the Vice-Chair of the Committee on Lands is seated there but he is not listening to me. Could he respond?"
