KWCA Position on the Natural Resources (Benefit Sharing) Bill, 2022

January 17, 2023
Masthead of The Kenya Gazette with the Kenyan coat of arms

KWCA in consultation with and on behalf of 175 wildlife conservancies submitted a memorandum on the Natural Resources (Benefit Sharing) Bill, 2022 pursuant to the invitation for memoranda for the Kenya Gazette Supplement no.177 (Senate Bill No.6).

KWCA submission of the memorandum is based on the following grounds:

  1. Inequitable revenue sharing ratio
  2. Failure to consider costs associated with exploitation of the natural resources
  3. Narrow view of benefits
  4. Ambiguity and generality 
  5. Unclear and vague terminologies
