    "content": "to 26 Questions from the various CSs in the ministries under its purview. Seven Questions were deferred due to unavailability of the relevant CSs to address them. One Question, which was touching on irrigation was referred to the Departmental Committee of Agriculture and Livestock. Hon. Speaker, allow me to note that as the Departmental Committee on Environment and Natural Resources, we observed that issues of human-wildlife conflict raised many Questions due to its impact on the ground. During our interaction with the Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife, it was agreed that in order to fast-track the issues of compensation to human-wildlife conflict victims, upon scrutiny by the relevant compensation committee, the Ministry will adapt 30:30:40 ratio to reach as many affected people as possible. Additionally, Hon. Speaker, the Committee experienced delays in responding to some Questions due to the unavailability of the CSs to address them. However, upon your communication on allowing the Chief Administrative Secretaries (CASs) or Principal Secretaries (PSs) to present signed responses by the CSs to committees, it greatly improved the turnaround time for responding to the Questions. The Committee further noted that Questions present opportunities for resolving issues affecting Kenyans in a faster way. There is, therefore, need to encourage the Members to seek redress through this medium in the Fourth Session. Thank you, Hon. Speaker. I wish to table the report."
