Deputy President Kithure Kindiki has ordered the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) to take immediate action and end the escalating hyena menace in Njoro, Nakuru County.

The directive follows a series of deadly attacks by the wild animals that have left the residents counting losses after hyenas invaded and killed their livestock.

Kindiki, who spoke during a community empowerment event in Nakuru County on Saturday, August 2, expressed the government's commitment to end the threat.

The second in command further revealed the government's intention to compensate the families who have since lost their loved ones and livestock.
