By MANASE OTSIALO More by this AuthorOn October 6, 1989, Malka Mari National Park was gazetted through legal notice No.338 (Wildlife Conservation Management Department-WCMD) Act Cap 376. CLAN CONFLICTSAdvertisementThe park, which is approximately 900 square kilometres, remains probably the least visited national park in the country due to the regular clan conflicts. “Elephants used to pass here the same way wildebeests cross into Maasai Mara from Tanzania’s Serengeti National Park,” Mr Adan added. Mr Sheikh Matker, a former councillor in the area, blamed the national government for the mess in the park. County Tourism Executive Izzidun Abdullahi said that any development to be undertaken in the national park — including its revival in collaboration with the national government — shall depend on the final court verdict.
