Great guy, knows his stuff and was always there in the mix of things at KWS. Strong in Leadership and experience in Management. Not material for politics.

And i like the way he kept his work, by the time you are doing the same job into 7 years bring change or change will change you.

@tassia,you do the research for your self.
.....focus on the poaching issue,as to when i was born is non of your business.if you are old enough you should know how to at least think.
.....read below from global post.


"The 247 tusks discovered on March 30 are thought to are estimated to be worth about $3.3 million, illustrating the lucrative nature of a global illegal trade that threatens to decimate Africa’s wildlife"

The head of Kenya’s wildlife authority blamed the Chinese for the slaughter of more than 100 elephants and 20 rhinos in this East African country alone last year.

“Ninety percent of all the people who pass through our airports and are apprehended with illegal wildlife trophies are Chinese,” said Julius Kipng’etich, director of the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS).
...2009 was the worst year Kenya had recorded in decades for poaching — with 249 elephants killed, up from 140 in 2008 and only 47 in 2007.

“I suspect that a lot of the killing being done in Kenya is carried out by wildlife department personnel ...”

~Richard Leakey, Kenyan conservationist.

Thank you very much @callaspade. It is good that you agree in you latest statement that it is in "decades" NOT "history". I hope you notice the difference. But anyway, if you believe the guy was a failure, you are entitled to your opinion. Of course we did not hire an Angel. But may be he just did what was within his capacity.

I really respect the guy, and I was amused by his memory, imagine a full director remembering an internship guy by his name in a damn remote camp.
....He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion..

I have always believed that Kipngetich was not suitable for the job at KWS. He is a finance guy and not a conservation scientist and maybe thus the lack of passion of the job and eventual exit. It's the high time that KWS was headed by the right professional. There are many PhDs in conservation in Kenya, some with MBAs, and one of these could lead the institution. Even KNH should be headed by a doctor who understands medical issues and not a finance guy.

Anyway let Kipngetich, as a finance guy, go to Equity, his professional area. It must have been tough at KWS leading a team of top conservation scientists/professionals when he wasn't one.

At KWS he was a big fish in a small pond; at Equity, he will be a SMALLER fish in a big pond
