What happened
Kenya Wildlife Service reported that its annual revenue collection increased from KSh5.3 billion to KSh7.6 billion, a 43 percent rise, following the digitization of its services. President William Ruto commended the Kenya Wildlife Service for this increase, noting the institution now covers up to 87 percent of its budget. He urged the organization to achieve full financial self-sustainability within the next two years.

Why it matters
The increase in internal revenue allows the Kenya Wildlife Service to reduce its operational dependence on the National Treasury. President William Ruto noted that this financial strength has enhanced service delivery, including the acquisition of 98 vehicles to execute the agency's mandate.
