[PHOTOS] Tour and travel agents present petitions to State in peaceful demos

Tour and travel agents in Nairobi on Thursday presented their petitions to the government amid their continued protests against newly introduced 'Gateway Fees'.

The agents handed their petitions to Wildlife Principal Secretary Silvia Museiya.

The agents want the gateway park fees abolished.

They staged protests outside the Tourism Fund building, Nairobi.

PS Museiya thanked the agents for choosing a constitutionally accepted way to present their petitions when they felt that the government is not listening.

She added that the issues they raise are genuine and must be addressed.

"I agree that there are issue that are genuine and they should be addressed. I see three major issues, park entry fees. When we were doing this there was public participation. Two it is also clear to me that it was not adequate. I also see there is new fee there," Museiya stated.
