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. 20 years after you graduate, you specialisation becomes irrelevant! Like Einstein once said, "education is what remains AFTER you forget everything you were taught in school" 20 years down the road, you are bound to forget...

There must have been more cash at KWS. Tourism is one of the country's biggest forex earner and he was managing natural resource which is the basis of tourism. Not to mention the other fringe benefits like having a couple of helicopters, speedboats, an army of rangers etc at your disposal. And alot of foreign travel to all those conservation meetings sijui in Rio, Singapore, Austria etc etc. Not to mention the millions from donor funds since CEOs are normally given some honorarium from the donor projects by the institution.

Why cant Naikuni also think about "pursuing other interests"? His time is up.

At least we now know there will be Equity after JM. The rest is not important. Here is a guy who used to ride in KWS pool Double Cabs while other CEO's ride in Prados complete with chase cars. Tells you a lot about the man.

Joining Equity is his biggest mistake – He will not last 18 Months. The man who marries a beautiful woman, and the farmer who grows corn by the roadside have the same problem

Working with JM as none Executive Director is different from being an Employee. Rumors have it that JM does not listen to any opinion from any employee. I can bet he will last a maximum of 18 Months. The man who marries a beautiful woman, and the farmer who grows corn by the roadside have the same problem

Richard Leakey left kws in disgrace

Kisumu Town East MP Shakeel Shabir accused Wildlife and Forestry minister Noah Wekesa of being among people who forced Mr Kipng’etich to resign. “The minister and a clique of people who were cutting down Mt Kenya Forest forced Kipng’etich to resign. Kipng’etich has named the minister himself,” Mr Shabir told Parliament. http://www.businessdaily...6/-/xsvi9q/-/index.html
GOD BLESS YOUR LIFE
