"content": " Hon. Temporary Speaker, pursuant to the provisions of Standing Order 44(2)(c), I rise to request for a statement from the Chairperson of the Departmental Committee on Tourism and Wildlife regarding the serious human-wildlife conflicts currently being experienced in parts of Chepalungu Constituency. On 18th March 2025, the late Kelvin Kipkemoi Ng’etich who is the son of Mr Paul Ruto tragically lost his life after being attacked by a crocodile while washing clothes in Chepkulo River. Kelvin, a 16-year-old Form Three student at Nogirwet Day Secondary School, had returned home from Sunday service and proceeded to the river to wash his clothes and take a bath. Sadly, three hours later, his clothes were found floating midstream. Prompting local residents to raise the alarm. Upon investigation, a crocodile was sighted confirming the tragic incident. It is sad to note that despite being informed promptly, officers from the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) located barely two kilometres from the scene delayed their response by over six hours. Ultimately, two elderly community members and a youth group retrieved the body of the deceased. This is not an isolated incident. Residents of Chepalungu have long suffered repeated human-wildlife conflict with crocodiles, hyenas, elephants, and other wild animals, The electronic version of the Official Hansard Report is for information purposesonly. A certified version of this Report can be obtained from the Hansard Editor."

"content": "frequently attacking and killing people and livestock such as goats and sheep, and destroying crops. These losses have devastated livelihoods, undermined community security, and severely affected the socio-economic well-being of residents. Further, residents around Chemeng’wa, Kinyang’a, Lugumek, Kobolwo, Kosia, Nogirwet, Kapkulumben, Chebelion, Kaboson, Kamosiro, Kamongil, Kaptumo, and their environs, largely depend on casual work offered by conservancies and large-scale farmers across the river. Many also rely on sand harvesting activities along riverbanks to earn a living, put food on the table, and pay school fees. However, their lives are now endangered by the growing crocodile menace that makes daily survival increasingly perilous. 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. A detailed report on the measures taken by the ministry and the Kenya Wildlife Service to mitigate human-wildlife conflict in Chepalungu Constituency and the wider Bomet County. 2. An explanation for the delayed response by KWS officers in the incident involving the late Kelvin Kipkemoi Ng’etich, and steps taken to ensure such delays do not recur. 3. Information on the compensation, if any, provided to the family of the deceased and other victims of wildlife attacks in the constituency; 4. Details of long-term strategies the ministry is implementing to prevent loss of life, protect livelihoods, and secure communities from recurring wildlife threats. 5. Plans by the ministry to assist affected communities, for instance construction of at least two footbridges across the river under the Kenya Wildlife Service’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programmes to enhance residents’ safety. I thank you, Hon. Temporary Speaker."
