Kajiado residents have taken a proactive step in addressing concerns with the Wildlife Conservation and Management Bill, 2025.
In a public participation forum organized by the State Department for Wildlife to address possible reviews on the Bill, Kajiado County Executive Member for Wildlife and Tourism, Jeremiah Ole Ncharo, addressed the requirement of management plans as a pre-condition to register as a conservancy, citing the costly nature of procuring one. "This is not an ideal method to encourage citizens to participate in wildlife conservation.
Hurdles like this one are disheartening to conservancies and that is not our goal," he said.
With the major stakeholders present, certain concerns were addressed with the definition of conservation areas taking precedence.
