On Thursday, November 6, 2025, tourism stakeholders marched in Nairobi from Uhuru Park to the Tourism Fund Offices, protesting new gateway charges at national parks. They argue these charges, introduced by the Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife as part of a new digital payment system, negatively impact their businesses and are being collected despite a court suspension.

• The protested charges include a gateway fee or transaction processing charge of between 5 and 8.5 percent.
• Protesters questioned whether the Ministry of Tourism and Wildlife, Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS), or eCitizen is responsible for the payments, citing a lack of clarity.
• The Kenya Tourism Federation (KTF) secured a temporary court suspension of the fees in October 2025, pending a final decision on November 25, 2025.
