• 4 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, right now, around the national parks and game reserves, we have established about 1,200 kilometres of electric fence. I have a list here where we are proposing to extent the electric fence, and we will do it. These areas include the Mt. Kenya, Kyulu, Rimoi, Marsabit, Taita-Taveta and Ruma. However, if the hon. Members have other areas which they feel are really critical and we have to construct an electric fence, please, advise us, so that we can look for funds to start the process. view
• 4 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Mr. Speaker, Sir, I beg your indulgence here. This Question came to this House last week and my colleague, hon. Wekesa, responded to it. I will give a very short answer because the Question seemed not to be relevant to the Ministry of Forestry and Wildlife. The information we have is that we are not aware of the December 04, 2008 PARLIAMENTARY DEBATES 3877 incident that took place. There were also no KWS personnel involved in this particular incident. We believe that this Question should be forwarded to the relevant Ministry. The Shaba National Game Reserve is being managed--- view

• 3 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I did not hear the question from the hon. Member. Could he repeat it? view
• 3 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I had mentioned much earlier in this House, the relocation of wildlife is a new issue to the KWS. We have managed to successfully relocate elephants and other problematic animals to other areas. This has helped to reduce the human-wildlife conflict. This particular case is a challenge but we want to attempt it. The hon. Member and I will look at possibilities of how we can assist him. view
• 3 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I do not know where the hon. Member has got his report from. As far as the current Wildlife Bill is concerned, the compensation is a maximum of Kshs200,000. In the new Bill that will be tabled in this House, that amount will be revised upwards. view
• 3 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I thank the hon. Member for bringing this issue to my attention. We have to acknowledge the fact that human settlements have encroached on animals'migratory routes and habitats. I do not know what we should be addressing. Is it humans who have encroached on the hippos' land or is it the other way round? We really need to look into this issue. I would urge hon. Members to report all these cases to the nearest KWS office. If they do not take action, please inform me. I have an office in NHIF Building, on 12th Floor, ... view
• 3 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, as I have said, hon. Members should report to the nearest office so that we can be able to help. Secondly, the office will create awareness. Given that hippos have encroached--- view
• 3 Dec 2008 in National Assembly: Madam Temporary Deputy Speaker, I am not aware about his report. Indeed, since we are together with him in this House, he should have also advised me. Now that he has reported, I will follow up with the relevant offices. view
