"content": "Information System reported that from January 2022 to July 2022, there were 254 documented cases. Recently, on 3rd July 2024, the late Mr Amos Cheburet Kimeres, who was in good health and going on with his daily activities at home, was fatally bitten by a poisonous snake. Despite being rushed immediately to Kabarnet Referral Hospital, he unfortunately succumbed to the poisonous snake bite while undergoing treatment. Subsequently, the family sought compensation from the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS, which they were denied on the basis that the Wildlife (Conservation and Management) Act (Cap. 376) was amended in 2019 to exclude compensation for snake bite incidents resulting in injury or death. In 2021, the Cabinet Secretary for Tourism and Wildlife assured the public that the ministry was working towards reinstating compensation for victims of snake bites. However, this commitment remains unfulfilled to date. The lack of redress is also particularly concerning in Baringo County, where frequent and fatal snake bites continue to devastate families, often stripping households of their primary earners. Hon. Temporary Speaker, it is against this background that I request a Statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Tourism and Wildlife on the following: 1. The steps taken by the Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife to reinstate compensation for victims of snake bites, particularly in Baringo County and other regions where such cases are rampant. 2. The measures put in place or are being considered to provide interim relief to the affected families who suffer the loss of their loved ones due to snake bites, such as the family of Mr Amos Cheburet Kimeres, who succumbed to a snake bite. 3. A report on the number of snake bite incidents leading to fatalities or severe injuries recorded in Baringo County from 2024 to date, and the interventions made in each case. Thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
