    "content": "Hon. Deputy Speaker, I beg to present the Report of the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources on a petition presented by Hon. Sara Korere, on behalf of residents of Laikipia North Sub-County regarding human-wildlife conflict. Hon. Deputy Speaker, Hon. Korere tabled the Petition on 27th July 2016. Her prayers were that the National Assembly intervenes to ensure that the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources expedites the fencing of Mukogodo Forest to keep off elephants from straying into human settlements; ensures that the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) compensates victims’ families for loss of lives and compensates farmers for destruction of crops and school infrastructure. Further, the petitioners pray that the National Assembly recommends to the Ministry of Environment and Natural Resources to increase KWS posts in the area for efficient surveillance and quick response to distress calls whenever elephants stray into human settlements. Hon. Deputy Speaker, the Committee visited Laikipia on 7th October, 2016 and received submissions from the residents. Our responses to the prayers are as follows: That the KWS should include in its budget funds for fencing Dol Dol, Kiwanja, Ilkinyei and Ol Arjiju Primary Schools and other schools next to Mukogodo Forest"
