    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, thank you for giving me a chance to comment on the wildlife Act and the Petition that has been brought to our attention. I remember very well when this Bill was passed in the Eleventh Parliament, we thought it would be a solution toto human-wildlife conflicts in our counties. However, it is very sad that up to today, the Act has not been operationalised to save our people and domestic animals. I urge this House to get into this matter and urge the Ministry concerned to operationalise the Act because our people are suffering. As I speak, wildlife are invading our homes and consuming our animals because of the current drought in our country and there is no compensation. If you seek for compensation, you are taken round in circles. You are either told this is a county or national government issue. The committee concerned must take this matter seriously, investigate it and see how it can help in the operationalisation of the Act. I also urge this House to assist us to make sure that the CWMCs are operational so that they look into the issue of compensation. I call upon the Cabinet Secretary concerned to act very fast and prioritise this matter to help our people."
