    "content": " Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I appreciate the Petition. The issue of human-wildlife conflict is a serious challenge in this country. We have received numerous petitions with regard to the issue of human-wildlife conflict. I acknowledge all the issues that have been raised by the Hon. Members. The bigger challenge has been the issue of the budget. As at now, there are more than Kshs5 billion pending claims which have been certified. In this financial year, we only managed to secure around Kshs500 million. On top of that, we are trying to look at this issue in terms of mitigation. As a Committee, we have even reallocated more funds to fencing the parks. I thank the Budget and Appropriations Committee because it allowed us to reallocate funds from other sectors to the KWS so that fencing can be done. I promise that within two weeks, we shall come to this House and give a response. Finally, when we secure a date with the State Department of Wildlife and KWS, I invite all the Hon. Members who have issues to do with human-wildlife conflict to attend that meeting so that we can engage and resolve this matter once and for all."
