A civil society organisation has called for the suspension of funding and partnership for the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) for allowing the second phase of standard gauge railway to pass through the Nairobi National Park.
The Africa Centre for Open Governance (AfriCOG) executive director Gladwell Otieno, in a letter dated March 26, said the wildlife agency signed an agreement in 2016 permitting the construction of the railway line through the park in return for monetary compensation instead of protecting wildlife as per their mandate.
