    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, I join you to welcome the students from Kajiado County. I ask them to take note of what we are doing today, so that they learn how the Senate works. At the end of the day, they will be better citizens. They should feel at home. Mr. Speaker, Sir, last year, I requested for a Statement on human-wildlife conflicts after four people were killed in Kajiado County. We even made an engagement with the Cabinet Secretary (CS) for Tourism and Wildlife, who is hon. Najib Balala. However, to this moment, we still have problems throughout the country. Mr. Speaker, Sir, I have had to call the Ministry every week, because elephants are turning wild and the children cannot even go to school. They are destroying all the crops and water points. The wild animals have killed several domestic animals. Just the other day, a young man lost a whole herd of 26 sheep and goats, but there seems to be no intervention. Officers of the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) only rush to the ground using helicopters when an elephant has been killed. However, when people are killed in Lamu, Kajiado, Makueni and Narok counties, you do not see those helicopters. Mr. Speaker, Sir, we are tired of human-wildlife conflicts. If they cannot handle them, they should then let us know how we can chase away these wild animals from our farms. The wild animals feed on our domestic animals and crops, drink our water, and lick salt from our domestic animal troughs. 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."
