The county government has declared six community conservancies operating in the area illegal, saying the Northern Rangelands Trust (NRT) running them is not licensed by the Kenya Wildlife Service.
County Energy, Environment Natural Resources executive Rhoda Loyor said her office has since ordered NRT to stop operations, which include recruitment of rangers in Turkana East and Turkana South sub counties, until the conservancies are licensed.
