    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I rise pursuant to Standing Order 46 (2) (b) to seek a statement from the Chairperson of the Standing Committee on Tourism, Trade and Industrialisation on the relocation of 21 elephants from Laikipia to Tsavo National Park by the Kenya Wildlife Services (KWS). In the statement, the Chairperson should:- (a) state the current population of elephants in Tsavo National Park, the capacity of the park and explain whether the park has the capacity to sustain more elephants; (b) explain the rationale behind the ongoing relocation of excess elephants to Tsavo National Park wherever there is overpopulation in other areas, for instance, in 2011, there was relocation of elephants from Mwaluganje in Kwale and now from Solio Ranch in Laikipia County; (c) explain the measures the Government has put in place to mitigate the effects of human-wildlife conflict in Taita Taveta given that KWS and the Government are still overpopulating the Tsavo National Park; (d) table the total value of claims, their nature and the compensation awarded to residents of Taita-Taveta over the last five years due to death, injury of persons and destruction of property and crops by wild animals; (e) explain if the Government plans to relocate any elephants from Tsavo National Park in Taita-Taveta County to other national parks and game reserves given that Tsavo National Park in Taita-Taveta County is already overpopulated. Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir."
