    "content": "Thank you, Mr. Speaker, Sir. I beg to present a Petition in favor of the great people of Lamu. I beg to report that I have received a Petition from Lamu County concerning the delayed compensation of persons injured or deaths caused by wildlife. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I wish to draw the attention of the Senate to the following- THAT, the Kenya Wildlife Services (KWS) has the mandate to conserve and manage Kenya’s wildlife for the Kenyan people and the world in general. THAT, there is an increase of wildlife in some parts of Lamu County THAT, the increase in wildlife has brought its fair share of challenges to the people of Lamu. THAT, farmers have found themselves at a loss as crops have been destroyed, people injured and some met their deaths. THAT, the victims of wildlife are taken through a vicious cycle when making compensation claims; most are left with claim forms and nothing has been compensated. THAT, we have made the best efforts to have those matters addressed by the relevant authorities, all of which have failed to give a satisfactory response. THAT, none of these issues raised in this Petition is pending in any court of law, constitutionally or in any other legal body. THEREFORE, your humble petitioners, the great people of Lamu County and, more so, the Mpeketoni residents, wish and pray that the Senate investigates these matters and- (i) Initiates a process to have the victims of wildlife legally compensated. The electronic version of the Senate Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor, Senate."
