Deputy President Prof.
Kithure Kindiki has said that the government is committed to ensuring that all Human-Wildlife conflict victims are fully compensated by the year 2027.
Speaking on Friday afternoon at Naibor Trading centre in Laikipia County, where he issued compensation cheques worth Sh70 million to over 700 victims of human-wildlife conflicts in the county, the DP added that the government was keen on ending the backlog in compensation, with some having waited for over a decade. "Some of the people we are issuing cheques today have waited for a long time, some victims or their relatives for over 10 years.
This long backlog has to come to an end, and I can assure Kenyans that all pending compensations shall be paid before we go to the next elections," he assured.
