Tourism CS Alfred Mutua said the government has not been compensating victims of wildlife attacks since 2019 due to financial challenges.
The Cabinet Secretary also said he had dispatched a team of officers verifying the documents of claimants to the ground.
The rising cases of hyena attacks in the country have been attributed to overpopulation of the wild animals.
According to Tourism Cabinet Secretary Alfred Mutua, hyenas started overpopulating during the dry season last year as they feasted on carcasses of other animals that succumbed to drought.
