President William Ruto has revealed that the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) has approved the construction of hotels within Meru National Park. This announcement comes shortly after the government was compelled to cancel a similar hotel project in Nairobi’s Ngong Road forest following intense public backlash. Speaking during the launch of the human-wildlife conflict compensation fund in Meru, Ruto said the move aims to modernize the park’s facilities amid rising concerns over the opaque allocation of public green spaces to private investors.
