Ruto Hits Back at Ole Lenku Over Amboseli Transfer, Reveals Who Made the Decision

President William Ruto has responded to former Kajiado Governor Joseph Ole Lenku over the transfer of Amboseli National Park, insisting that the decision to return the management of the park to Kajiado County was his own.

Speaking during his remarks, Ruto dismissed claims that Ole Lenku had confronted him or pressured him into making the decision.

The Head of State maintained that Ole Lenku should not give the impression that he personally approached him to demand the return of Amboseli to Kajiado.

Ruto explained that he was the one who independently decided that Amboseli should be returned to the county, telling the former governor to stop politicising the matter.

The President’s remarks appeared to respond directly to the discussion surrounding the transfer of Amboseli and the role played by different leaders in the process.

He stated that Ole Lenku should not claim that he raised his voice against him before the decision was made, maintaining that the move was initiated by his administration.

The Amboseli issue has attracted public attention because of its significance to Kajiado County, particularly regarding tourism, local economic benefits and the involvement of the county government in managing the park.

Ruto’s latest comments have added another dimension to the debate, with the President seeking to clarify his position and take responsibility for the decision.

His statement is likely to generate further discussion among political leaders and residents of Kajiado as conversations about Amboseli’s management continue.
