• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg to reply. view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: (a) Yes, I am aware that a rogue hippopotamus killed Mr. Peter Kariuki, ID.No.13841054 and critically injured Mr. John Kathuri Kimani, ID No.4920819 on 9th June, 2012 who is currently hospitalized at Naidu Hospital, Thika. view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: (b) No, I am not aware that the said hippopotamus has since killed seven other persons as no further injury or death arising from a hippopotamus attack has been reported from this particular dam after the incident of 6th June, 2012. view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: (c) My Ministry, through the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), is committed to the protection of people and property anywhere in the country. The following measures have been undertaken by the KWS to ensure that the people of that area are safe:- (i) The KWS has an office with a district warden, deputy warden and four control rangers plus a vehicle. This team is mandated and deployed to patrol the Del Monte and Athi River wildlife prevailing areas on a daily basis. (ii) I have instructed the KWS to take immediate measures to capture and eliminate the rogue hippopotamus. My Ministry ... view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I want to share the sentiments of Mr. Kabogo over this particular incidence. Indeed, we value the lives of Kenyans that are injured by wildlife. That is why as soon as we received this report, because this dam is within a private land, Del Monte, we deployed a team to work on a daily basis to track down this animal with instructions to kill it. view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: In addition, just as we did, I remember two years ago when we had a similar problem with crocodiles in the Seven Forks Dam, Kindaruma, Masinga, we applied a similar tactic by putting in place emergency measures to protect the place where people were fetching water from. That basically reduced the injuries and the deaths that the crocodiles were causing. What I can assure you is that we will work closely with Del Monte to see to it that a trench is dug around the dam immediately. view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: We have already started sensitization. I believe that if the hon. Members can help us also--- view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, when I talked about the Seven Forks Dam, it was as a result of a question that was brought to this House by Mr. Musyimi for specific areas that he has pointed out and not the entire dam. These were specific areas where people were fetching water and the crocodiles were a menance. Back again to the initial question which was being asked by Mr. Kabogo, you will realize that hippos come out to feed in the very early morning or late evening. One thing that we want to urge the public is to desist from ... view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, as I have said here before, we always expect the process to take about three months, but sometimes there are delays experienced basically because we are depended on Treasury to give us funds to sent electronically to the districts. We will try as much as possible to fast-track it. I know the problem of human-wildlife conflict is everywhere in the country. As has been said, the amount paid is small. I agree with you and that is why in the proposed Bill, which I hope is coming here, we have reviewed that amount and increased it ... view
• 20 Jun 2012 in National Assembly: Mr. Deputy Speaker, Sir, I am not aware of any stoppage of compensation for snake bites. As far as I am concerned, as long as all the compensation forms are filled up properly, and they meet the required standards, the processing begins right from the District Compensation Committee and moves upwards up to the Ministry Compensation Committee. Once approval has been given in respect of the amount to be paid, we wire the funds electronically to the District headquarters, where it is paid out by the District Commissioners. view
