Residents of Saku sub-county in Marsabit have called for action following
the death of a man who was attacked by an elephant.
Confirming the incident, James Kemei, a Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS)
officer stationed in Marsabit, regretted the tragedy, adding that efforts
are being made to curb human-wildlife conflict.
Residents have protested, saying this is not the first incident in which
jumbos are wreaking havoc in the area.
“We have complained and asked KWS and the county government to put in place
lasting strategies to deal with the nuisance of wild animals, especially
elephants and hyenas, but no action is taken,” one local said.
In recent weeks, there was another case of a lion attacking livestock in
the Karare area in Saku.
KWS has said the families of those affected will receive compensation.
