The government has promised to construct watering points within the Tsavo National Park to contain the human-wildlife conflict experienced in Magarini and Ganze sub-Counties in Kilifi County, Tourism CS Najib Balala has said.

The CS told The Standard the Tsavo had lost more than 70 elephants due to drought in the Tsavo East and West National parks, a situation that forced the jumbos to invade human settlements in search of water and pasture.
