(Dr.) Ali raised this matter from the perspective of being a doctor – having been my student – and also having been a medical officer in Wajir County at some stage. There are a lot of marauding hyenas which maul people and destroy their property and livestock, coupled with the lions and the other cases. This seems to be a recurring story. What are the most effective methods put in place by the wildlife and conservation department to reduce the human carnage because it is a recurring feature, year in, year out? Livestock is the only mainstay of their livelihoods in Wajir County."}
