President William Ruto has asked all those who have encroached on Government forests across the country to move out.
President Ruto said the Ministry of Environment has been directed to ensure counties use the El Nino rains to plant trees as part of the efforts to achieve the 15 billion target by 2032.
"We have intensified our efforts to achieve the target of planting 15 billion trees by 2032. We will use the El Nino rains to plant more trees as part of efforts to contain effects of climate change," said President Ruto. Speaking at Kamwangi grounds in Gatundu North, Kiambu County on Saturday, President Ruto argued that no meaningful development would be achieved if leaders continued to undermine each other.At the same time, President Ruto, cautioned that no one will be allowed to interfere with Government development initiatives in Kiambu County.
The county government has not approved the lands meant for some Affordable Housing Projects because they have been grabbed, delaying the construction work. "Kenyans should be patient as efforts are being made to address the high cost of fuel, which is a global problem," said Mr Gachagua. "Those who have grabbed Government lands meant for development projects should surrender instead of using courts to frustrate initiation of projects aimed at transforming lives of ordinary people," said Mr Ichung'wa.
