    "content": " Mr. Temporary Deputy Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply- (a) Yes, I am aware that the stray leopard attacked the residents of South East Karungu Location on 11th August, 2010. The Kenya Wildlife Service Warden based at Homa Bay was given a report on 11th August, 2010 through a telephone call by Nyatike District Officer and the area councilor. It was established that two men, namely, Michael Ochiel Magaro and Mark Ochieng’ Ochuodho, sustained head injury and left arm injury respectively, after a leopard attacked them on 11th August, 2010. The duo were admitted at Migori District Hospital and their families were issued with compensation forms and instructed on how to fill them in order to initiate the compensation process for the injuries. (b) I am also aware that on 5th of September, 2010, Mr. Zakayo Odongo Odero’s homestead in Ngira Sub-Location, South East of Karungu, a stray leopard attacked and killed four sheep and injured six others. (c) I would like to assure this House that the KWS personnel will do everything possible to protect the lives and property of Karungu residents against wild animals. It is in this purview that Homa Bay Problems Animals Complaint team was dispatched to Karungu immediately over the two incidents and has taken the following strategy: (1) Lay traps with bait to capture the stray leopards. These were laid on 12th August and 6th September, 2010 and are on the ground to date. (2) The team is working together with the community and the Provincial Administration to track down the wild animals. The communities have been given direct lines to call, should they see the leopard again. (3) Patrols in the area have been recently carried out and the communities sensitized of the behavior of the leopard for safety. This has been done through public barazas and local radio stations, specifically radio Namunorwe(??) . Lastly, the leopards will be trapped for translocation to other less habited areas to ensure that they do not put further danger to human lives."
