President William Ruto has today launched Sh950 million third-phase compensation for wildlife victims.

Ruto said his government is streamlining compensation for human-wildlife conflict to ensure prompt payment for affected individuals.

Speaking at Meru National Park, Ruto said Kenyans will no longer wait for up to eight years to be compensated under the revised scheme.

He pointed out that allocations for compensation have increased allocations to pay current claims and pending bills.
