Tourism and Wildlife Cabinet Secretary Alfred Mutua commissioned the first cohort of the Kajiado County game rangers for further training in wildlife conservation and park matters.

The rangers drawn from the Maa Economic Block which encompasses Kajiado, Narok and Samburu counties, were released on Thursday at a community and conservation stakeholders meeting at the Amboseli National Park.

The target is to train 100 rangers on wildlife management and community engagement by October this year, when the park takeover process is completed.
