    "content": " Hon. Senators, pursuant to Standing Order No.220(1)(a) and 224(1)(b), I hereby report to the Senate that a Petition has been submitted through the Clerk by the Council of Chairpersons of County Wildlife Conservation and Compensation Committees (CWCCs), regarding alleged non- operationalisation of certain provisions of the Wildlife Conservation and Amendment Act No.47 of 2013. As you are aware, under Article 119(1) of the Constitution, every person has a right to petition Parliament to consider any matter within its authority, including enacting, amending or repealing any legislations. The salient issues raised in the said Petition are: 1. That, Section 18 of the Wildlife Compensation and Management Act No.47 of 2013 establishes CWCCs for each county and provides for its membership. Section 19 of the Act further outlines the functions of such committees. 2. That, Section 21 of the same Act provides for payment of allowances to members of the CWCCs as shall be determined by the Salaries and Remuneration Commission (SRC). 3. That, following passage of the Act, the CWCCs were constituted in February, 2015 and have been carrying out their functions and mandate as set out in the Act. The term of the current CWCCs is due to elapse in February, 2018, on completion of their three year term. 4. That, despite (3) above, the framework for payment of allowances to chairpersons and members of CWCCs is yet to be agreed upon between the line Ministry and the SRC, as a result of which the chairpersons and members of the CWCCs are yet to be paid their monthly honoraria since assuming office in February, 2015."
