Pursuant to Standing Order 48 (1), I rise to seek a Statement from the Standing Committee on Tourism, Trade and Industrialization on the human-wildlife conflict affecting communities living in counties bordering Game Parks and Game Reserves, particularly communities around Amboseli, Maasai Mara, Tsavo and Chyulu Game Reserves. In the Statement the Committee should - (1) Explain why the Government has taken too long to resolve the human-wildlife conflict, specifically the deaths and destruction of property caused by elephants and lions in Kajiado, Narok, Taita-Taveta and Makueni counties. (2) State whether there is any form of compenstion to the following individuals and/or communities who have been directly affected by the conflict and when the compensation will be given:- With regard to destruction of property, crops and animals by elephants, there is Oloikarra and Esarunoto Community water pipes, the fences of Ilaimirror Primary and Entaretoi Secondary Schools; Oloikara Community greenhouses and Harrison Tapo’s crops and trees. There is also a Mrs. Sameri’s crops at Entaneta and Edward Ndilai’s farm. Liutenant-General Paria’s cattle and Rapario Mokoi’s sheep were also mauled by the lions.
