The State Department for Wildlife has stepped up compensation efforts for victims of human-wildlife conflict to address the huge number of beneficiaries.
The Secretary Administration Tobiko Nayioma said the department has set aside Sh900 million for the purpose and has a list of victims to be compensated.
This comes even as there is a growing concern from victims that despite presenting their grievances and filing complaints, they were yet to receive compensation.
Tobiko attributed the slow pace in compensation that was witnessed sometimes back to backdating of the list of victims, saying the matter has been addressed. "Compensation is done using a list to identify the victims.
