Autonomous agency to run Amboseli National Reserve

The Amboseli Ecosystem Conservation Authority (AECA), a semi-autonomous management authority, is set to take over the management of Amboseli National Reserve once it is returned to the Kajiado County government.
The independent authority’s operations will tap into the legal framework of the semi-autonomous Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), the county said.
“The creation of a semi-autonomous body will insulate the reserve management from political interference and ensure the highest standards of park management are maintained,” the devolved unit said in a two-year strategic plan launched on Friday by Kajiado Governor Joseph Ole Lenku and the Principal Secretary for Wildlife Sylvia Museiya.
The national government in 2005 proclaimed the transfer of Amboseli back to Kajiado County as provided for in Article 187 of the Constitution.
The proclamation was however not acted on until last year when President William Ruto ordered its implementation.
KWS ran Amboseli on behalf of the national government.
Mr Lenku said the new plan for Amboseli would address community benefits and help reduce human-wildlife conflict.
"We are moving away from militarisation of conservation to community-owned conservation. Cases of wildlife conflict must be eradicated. Amboseli rakes in at least Sh1.5 million annually and there are concerns that the revenue could go up to Sh2 million with a friendlier strategy” Mr Lenku said.
Samuel Parashina, Kajiado South MP- where the park is located said the return of the park to the devolved unit, is a correction of one of the historical injustices suffered by the Maa community.
"The benefits of the park to the community have been too little compared to their suffering for hosting the wildlife. Now we have a plan on how we can extend more benefits to the people," he said.
The local community has also offered more than 1 million acres of land to be extended as conservation areas through eleven group ranches in the area.
The donors of land include the Olgulului Ololarashi group ranch, which has offered 241,185 hectares of grazing land and 145,000 hectares of conservation land, the Imbirikani Group Ranch has offered 133,300 hectares of grazing land and 123,000 hectares of conservancy land, while the Eselenkei Group Ranch has offered 159,000 hectares (grazing land) and 44,500 hectares (conservancy land).
The plan aims to increase conservancy areas for sustainability, as 90 percent of Amboseli's wildlife lives outside the park. The park is only 80,000 acres and contains only 10 percent of the wildlife.

The refurbished Tree Tops Lodge in Aberdare National Park
Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has appealed to local and foreign investors to infuse their money into the tourism sector as stakeholders project an increase in the number of international visitors to three million this year.
At the same time, Mr. Gachagua pleaded with politicians to tone down political temperatures to continue attracting and enhancing investors’ confidence.
“We pray for peace in this country, we want calmness and restoration of sanity so that we do not scare away tourists. We want Kenya to be peaceful. We call upon everybody in the political space to tone down so that we have the right political environment and security. We want visitors to come and view Kenya as a haven and a good destination for tourism,” he said on Saturday.
He spoke during the reopening of the historic Treetops Lodge in Aberdare National Park, Nyeri.
With a rich history dating back to 1932, the Lodge has a significant historical link with the British Monarchy. Princess Elizabeth was staying at the Lodge in 1952 when her father, King George VI, died and she became the Queen.
The Lodge was closed down in 2021 over the Covid-19 pandemic.
According to the Kenya Tourism Board chairman Francis Gichamba, the reopening of the facility is a huge milestone for the Mountain Tourism Circuit and the hospitality sector.
“We are celebrating the revival of an icon in the tourism circuit. Reopening of The Treetops Lodge is timely because we received statistics in the country indicating that for the first time since 2019, we have exceeded two million visitors. This means tourism arrivals are on the upper trajectory. The Kenya Tourism Board wants to drive the numbers to three million before the end of year,” said Mr Gichamba.
He added that the Board is planning to launch another round of the ‘Tembea Kenya’ campaign to promote domestic travel.
DP Gachagua said the projected increase in tourist arrivals will be a major boost to the economy and foreign earnings.
About the reopening of the Treetops Lodge, Gachagua lauded the development saying it is a boost to the local economy as it has created jobs.
The DP asked Kenyans to invest locally and train their children on the need to invest their wealth in the domestic markets of the economy.
“We can’t wait for foreign investors to come home to invest. Even as we invite foreign investors, let us start it ourselves by encouraging our children to invest at home. Many jobs were lost after the closure of hotels and lodges during the COVID-19 pandemic. I spoke to many people on how the facilities could be reopened to spur tourism and spice the economy in the region,” said Mr Gachagua.
British High Commissioner to Kenya Neil Wigan, Chen Zhiwen (Director Political Section Embassy of the People’s Republic of China in the Republic of Kenya), Nyeri Governor Mutahi Kahiga, Kenya Wildlife Service Director of Parks and Community Prof Charles Musyoki and Tourism Fund Board chairperson Samson Some, among other leaders and officials, were present at the function.
The tourism sector stakeholders and Treetops Lodge Managing Director Dr Keith Ikinu were also present.
In his remarks, Dr. Ikinu said he chose to revive the Lodge because of its historic ties with Britain and that he was concerned about the fall of the local tourism industry.
“We intended to revive the hospitality and tourism industry in Nyeri county. Nyeri was famous in the Mountain Tourism circuit because the county is well interconnected. The closure of the Treetops Lodge affected the economy. But we are keen on bringing that back. We want people to spend time in Nyeri and bring life back,” he said.
“During its operation, Treetops Lodge impacted the lives of many people in the region. The neighboring community, dancers, and suppliers had a big ripple effect on the community and the area. As Treetops is popular the world over, most visitors were foreigners. Most Kenyans did not get a chance to experience the place. They will now have an opportunity to visit the National Park and the Lodge.”
Mr Neil Wigan, the British High Commissioner to Kenya, also commended the reopening of the Lodge and said that the facility is deeply known in the United Kingdom.
“We value the history linked to the Treetops Lodge. It has a unique ecosystem. The reopening will bring more prosperity to the local community and more tourists,” said Wigan.

Yani unafananisha Gormahia bingwa wa Kenya na Coastal union mshindi wa nne Tanzania!???
Ukitaka tunaweza kukupa matokeo ya mshindi wa tatu Azam FC alishinda 1-0.
Coastal alifungwa 0-3.
Yanga alishinda 4-0.
Na Simba leo anaua jitu.
Halafu kuna mbung'o humu ndani zinashupaza shingo.
Tunachokifanya sisi ni sawa na alichofanya Libya na ni sawa na alichofanya CHINA.
Kuna positive impacts nyingi sana kwa kuweka hazina ya dhahabu kuwa backup ya shilingi yetu.
