‎"I have been talking about wild animals for a long time. Recently we had a meeting with KWS  officials who assured us they will remove wild animals from here. That has not happened.

‎I want to remind KWS to take wild animals from our ward to stop destroying our environment and injuring residents", said the MCA.

‎He condemned KWS saying that there was no use of reacting in response when the wild animals kill residents. He reminded them that human life is move valuable than that of a wild animal and they should act immediately when people's lives are endangered by wild animals. 

‎Additionally, he told MWINGI TIMES that Kyanyaa residents in Kitui South spotted elephants. They were trekking among households and were likely to cause harm in their return to their habitat, Tsavo National Park which was 40km away.
