Kenya's Deputy President Kithure Kindiki announced that Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) revenue is projected to reach Sh11 billion this year, up from Sh4 billion in 2022, attributing the growth to modern, technology-driven conservation efforts and increased tourism.

• KWS revenue is expected to grow from nearly Sh8 billion last year to a record Sh11 billion this year due to automation of park fee collection.
• Deputy President Kithure Kindiki highlighted the deployment of AI-powered surveillance systems, drones, and satellite-linked patrol tools as key to improved conservation outcomes.
• The government has recruited, trained, and deployed 1,500 new rangers and cadets over the past year, while foreign tourist arrivals increased by about half a million in 2024.
