• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: Thank you, Hon. Temporary Deputy Speaker. At the very outset, allow me to thank the House for the debate and overwhelming support to Sessional Paper No. 1 of 2020 on Wildlife Policy. I wish to appreciate and acknowledge all the concerns raised by the Hon. Members, specifically on the issues of human-wildlife conflict. This House has been seized of so many Questions, Statements and Petitions on human- wildlife conflict, which the Committee has been able to process.

• 16 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: The issue of snake bites also came up in the debate. Initially, snake bites were in the compensation schedule but due to very many cases arising from snake bites, more so, outside the protected areas, it was in the wisdom of this House to remove it from the compensation schedule. Arising from the concerns of very many Members, I want to make an undertaking that the same can be reviewed, but at the same time, request Members to ensure that we have enough funds to make those compensations. Hon. Millie Odhiambo has mentioned that the issue of marine wildlife is ... view

• 11 Feb 2021 in National Assembly: The Policy was validated by the National Assembly through enactment of the Wildlife (Conservation and Management) Act of 1976. Thereafter, the Act was amended in 1989 to create the Kenya Wildlife Service for the conservation and management, as well as the protection of all wildlife in Kenya. However, it is noted in the proposed policy that the 1975 Policy was not capable of addressing emerging challenges and realities in the sector, including, the effects of climate change, weak linkages between science and policy, rapid population growth, and rapid economic development. That has encroached on space for wildlife, increased human-wildlife conflict ... view

It is home to over 1,100 bird species and over 350 mammal species. It is also home to more than 7000 plant species of over 25,000 insect species and over 224 fresh water species. The wildlife and its associated habitants and ecosystem are significant assets as well as a national heritage. The goal of the new policy, therefore, is to create an enabling environment for the conservation, sustainable management of wildlife for the current ... view
