Taita Taveta County will not receive revenue collected by the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) from the Tsavo National Park as earlier promised by President William Ruto.

President Ruto said, according to experts' opinion, the 50:50 sharing formula between the county and KWS was not sustainable due to the meagre revenue collected from the park.
