Decades of growth destroyed in minutes. Giant lobelias, some of the rarest alpine plants are being damaged. This is heartbreaking for Kenya’s natural heritage.
@KWSKenya @Kenya_Forestry please step in.
The destruction of giant lobelias is unacceptable.

The housing levy was already wrong, immoral and unfair. Now the government wants to make it worse by using it as security to borrow Sh100 billion.
This means a levy forced on Kenyans today could be locked into payslips for years, possibly generations, just to guarantee another government loan.
This is unconstitutional in spirit because public money should not be treated like a permanent private tap for reckless borrowing. It is immoral because workers are already struggling with taxes, deductions, rent, food prices, school fees and fuel costs. It is also plain stupid because you cannot build an economy by punishing salaries and reducing people’s purchasing power every month.
Kenyans must rise up and say no. The housing levy cannot become a lifetime debt trap. It cannot be used to mortgage the future of workers without proper public consent, transparency and accountability.
A government that cannot manage existing taxes has no moral right to chain Kenyans to another Sh100 billion loan through their payslips.
This must be rejected loudly, firmly and without apology.
The late @kabetes warned us of the dogs that had been trained to bark by their master. The dog leash has been unleashed, and subsequently, what the late @RasnaWarah foresaw is unfolding before us.
DRC has been battling repeated ebola outbreaks since 1976. Sometimes it spreads to Uganda which has experience of dealing with it. Suddenly, Kenya that has never had an Ebola case, says it has set up 23 centres, a country whose public healthcare has crumpled?
Okay. Can one of you good journalists fact check those 23 quarantine facilities that are supposedly in existence as said by the President? What are they for?
