Parliament has allocated Sh800 million for setting up an insurance scheme to compensate victims of human-wildlife conflict whose claims stand at Sh2.72 billion in the current financial year.
The National Assembly’s Budget and Appropriations Committee (BAC) says the Wildlife Department had been funded to the tune of Sh800 million to start the scheme in 2023/24.
