Wildlife attack victims to wait longer for payout

Tana Delta, Kenya: Relatives of four children who were killed by a hyena in Tana Delta District last week will have to wait for the formation of the County Wildlife Conservation and Compensation Committee before they can be compensated.

Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) Warden in charge of Tana River County, Francis Muchiri, urged the relatives to be patient while the Government puts in place mechanisms for compensating victims of wildlife attacks.
