This whole rumour fest was started by Bloomberg, then the Zimbabweans.
The only way GoK can address these fears is via full transparency.

Update:

MPs have now officially dropped the proposal requiring taxpayers to pay disputed tax before filing an appeal.

Transport CS Davis Chirchir on the proposed JKIA construction:
—JKIA’s existing terminal will be expanded from 7.5M to 12M passengers annually, while a new terminal will add 10M passengers, taking total airport capacity to 22M.
—The contract award is not expected to exceed KES 154.2B, not the KES 375B figure cited in sections of the media.
—The cost covers more than the new terminal, including upgrades to existing terminals, airfield rehabilitation, aprons, taxiways, utilities, access roads, aviation systems and support facilities.
—The government has onboarded Trade and Development Bank and Africa Finance Corporation as lead arrangers for the financing structure.
—The project is expected to be funded by leveraging airport-based revenues, including the airport service charge, under a proposed 30% equity and 70% debt model.
—DFIs and commercial banks are expected to be brought in, with disclosure through a data room before financial close.

@BoardLotSultan Typical Indian Business structure. Set up business. Become believable. Get massive loans. Pay "suppliers" in India. Transfer the loans there. Collapse Kenya enterprise. rinse and repeat. Would banks give an African owned business such massive loans?

2/2....

8. The Park Gets Its Land Back. Here's the part that should end the "land grab" narrative: the current orphanage occupies 7.4 acres inside Nairobi National Park. Once the new facility opens, that land will be restored and reintegrated into the park's natural ecosystem. We are not losing parkland we're reclaiming it.

✅️9. Tangible National Benefits
1,000+ jobs created during construction and operation. Capacity to host over 20,000 students and visitors annually. Current site school buses struggle tonget enough parking space.
Enhanced education and tourism for Nairobi
Strengthened world-class conservation leadership

⚠️⚠️⚠️Yes, Kenyans Have Reason to Be Cautious
We understand the skepticism. Kenya has witnessed projects that promised much and delivered less. Suspicion of development schemes, particularly those involving land and our national treasures, is rooted in real experience.

That wariness is legitimate and healthy.
Conservation Is Not Standing Still but here's the fundamental question. Should Kenya continue relying on a facility built six decades ago, or invest in a modern, world-class rescue and rehabilitation centre capable of meeting 21st-century conservation challenges?

Conservation isn't about preserving the pas it's about adapting, improving, and building a better future for wildlife. This project is not the end of conservation. It is the future of conservation.
The Proof Will Be in the Eating. When the orphanage opens and Kenyans see thriving wildlife sanctuaries, state-of-the-art facilities treating injured animals, schools bringing thousands of students for world-class education, and that recovered parkland returned to nature—the doubts will fade. The facts on the ground will silence the naysayers far more effectively than any statement.

This is strategic conservation investment that returns land to the park while delivering a facility that will serve Kenya's wildlife, education, and tourism sectors for generations to come. Time and execution will prove us right.

As a tourism player and patriotic Kenyan I endorse this project.

As always I choose to remain an optimist

1/2 The Activists Have Had Their Say. Let Us Now also Share Our Version.

Welcome to the New Nairobi Animal Orphanage Experience. Kenya's commitment to wildlife protection is taking a transformative leap forward.

The Kenya Wildlife Service Kenya Wildlife Service is developing a world-class New Nairobi Animal Orphanage and Rescue Centre on an 89-acre site opposite the Bomas of Kenya ( Bomas International Convention Centre) and this move actually strengthens our national park, not weakens it.

First, let's separate fact from fiction, because public discourse demands clarity.

✅️1. What this Actually Is: This is a KWS managed conservation and rescue facility not a commercial development, not a land grab, and not the dismantling of our national heritage. It is a strategic investment in wildlife welfare, veterinary care, rehabilitation, and conservation education, fully overseen by Kenya Wildlife Service and open to the public.

✅️2. The Numbers Don't Lie. The project occupies 89 acres. That represents 0.31% of Nairobi National Park a fraction so small that to suggest the park is being "lost" is to ignore basic arithmetic. The park remains intact, and no conservation land is being removed. The facility underwent proper environmental assessment and received the required regulatory approvals.

✅️3. The Land is Grassland, Not Forest
misinformation claimed an upland forest would be destroyed. The reality is that the site sits on open grassland. Moreover, habitat restoration and revegetation are built into the project design. We're not sacrificing ecosystems we are improving them.

✅️4. A Strategic Hub for Heritage and Conservation. The Bomas site is being developed as part of the broader Bomas International Convention Centre initiative, currently under construction. This state-of-the-art facility will accommodate 10,000 delegates and create a vibrant hub for heritage and conservation that complements both the new orphanage and Kenya's tourism infrastructure.

✅️5. Why Kenya Needs This Now. The existing orphanage, established in 1964, was built for a different era. Today, we face a reality that demands modern solutions. Growing numbers of injured, orphaned, and confiscated wildlife arriving daily; limited veterinary capacity to treat them; insufficient rehabilitation space to prepare them for the wild; and conservation education spaces that can't keep pace with demand.

✅️6. The new facility valued at approximately Ksh 4 billion and more than 20 times larger will deliver state-of-the-art wildlife hospitals, advanced quarantine and nursery facilities, and expansive rewilding zones. Injured animals will have far better chances of survival. Schools will have immersive learning experiences. Kenya's reputation as a global conservation leader will be reinforced.

✅️7. The Site Was Carefully Chosen. Other options were evaluated and rejected. The existing park location due to overcrowding and pressure on indigenous trees; the Southern Bypass because of Wilson Airport noise; and Athi River for being too remote and prohibitively expensive. The Galleria-Bomas location offers optimal space, minimal ecological disruption, excellent connectivity to schools and tourism infrastructure, and synergy with the convention centre.

I will repeat that Maraga party is dead and burried,and if you dig deep from my previous tweets I said the same it was full of jokers and people who don’t understand politics and that’s why we’ve reduced what was supposed to be a serious government forming party into a circus.
The lack of decisiveness and assertiveness in that camp is enough reason not to take them serious.
While the sexual harassment story is a sad one which no one can confirm whether it did happen or not,i still insist it’s a painful sideshow and distraction that will or has definitely killed that party!!!

Women

[Shakira Wanjira Naliaka Wafula @fit_ermined]

Maraga arriving at the matriarch’s grief sit-down with flowers and a clear desire to command attention is deeply distasteful. Coming from someone whose campaign sidelined women after mishandling sexual harassment allegations, the optics are particularly troubling.
Some moments call for humility, not political theatre.

@amenya_nelson Not really worth it to rehabilitate such in my opinion...resources, both financial and otherwise, are too limited to waste on lost causes. Eliminate from society and move on
