• 25 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: (a) I am aware that even though Lake Nakuru National Park is completely fenced off by an electric fence and chain-link, there has been illegal fence vandalism in the parts that have led to some animals escaping and preying on the surrounding community’s livestock, including Njoro District. view
• 25 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: (b) My Ministry has taken the following measures with a view to arresting the menace: (i) the number of Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) rangers has been increased and the rangers have been strategically deployed along the perimeter electric fence so as to deter wildlife from escaping from the park’s vicinity; (ii) meetings have been held to sensitize the local community on the importance of the park electric fence, including urging them to stop fence vandalism and report those involved for appropriate legal action; and, (iii) KWS rangers identified the lion that killed Mr. Samuel Gichu’s livestock and neutralized it; and, view

• 25 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, that is the language we use in wildlife conservation. It means that the lion has been identified and killed. view
• 25 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, as I have said, we have intensified patrols. Secondly, there are works for upgrading 10 kilometres of the fence, starting from the Baboon Cliff area to Nakuru South Cemetery, and from the lake’s gate up to Free Area. I believe that this intensified effort and the consultations we have had with the community, particularly for members of the public to report those who vandalise the fence, will help deter the possibility of animals breaking off the national park in future. view
• 25 Oct 2011 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, we have already been alerted on that development and KWS rangers are going to work closely with the local communities to trace these animals, capture and take them back to the national park, or take them to a different place which is well protected. I want to assure the hon. Member that we will take action. Once I leave this House, I will follow up the matter and make sure that this is done. view
