Government Announces Leadership Changes and Transfers Management of Amboseli National Park - October 2025

President William Ruto revoked the appointment of former Chief of Defence Forces, General Julius Karangi, from the National Council for Population and Development (NCPD) board. This was part of broader leadership changes announced by the Kenyan government across several state corporations, with various Cabinet Secretaries making new appointments and revocations. In another significant administrative shift, the management of Amboseli National Park has been officially transferred to the Kajiado County Government after 52 years under national control. The Deed of Transfer gives Kajiado County oversight of daily operations, conservation, and tourism, while the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) retains national government ownership and oversight.
