"I went through #FGM when I was a week old. I have been a child-bride twice in my life. As long as I am alive, I will wake up every single day & scream to the world that #FGM is wrong & child marriage is not different from rape," @JahaENDFGM at a reception hosted by @EUinLiberia
Asante sana President @WilliamsRuto Looking forward to Gvt support on Baobab value addition & policies that will ensure inclusive business models to end farmers desolation. @IFC_org@DavidNdii@HonMoses_Kuria
I have instructed the Ministry of Environment and Forestry to look into the ongoing uprooting of Baobab trees in Kilifi County to ensure that it sits within the Convention on Biodiversity and the Nagoya Protocol.
Thank you President @WilliamsRuto . @HonTuya on your 2nd statement, what agreement would compensate over 1000 years in those trees?Is there a gvt Baobab propagation program in place?
@GreenBeltMovmnt@MamaRachelRuto
Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate license givers, do you understand that the Global Baobab Industry is priced in the hundred billions US dollars? That you are handing over African generational wealth to aliens? Are you just insane? https://t.co/IyrDGb4Jba https://t.co/0iX8jvwDwV
As @SakajaJohnson burns midnight oil to import palm trees all the way from Malaysia, someone at @KeForestService is sleeping on the job. Some shenanigans and impunity-loaded crooks are cutting the rare Baobab trees in Kilifi. Where is Gov @GideonMungaroM? @NemaKenya @HonTuya
Ever wondered where the mabuyus come from? From the beautiful #baobab treeโฆ
Plenty found in #Kilifi
The county should look for ways to earn from the super food and not export whole trees.
Government of Kenya has allowed the uprooting/ cutting of baobab trees at the Coast for export to Georgia, the former Soviet republic, for two years. Kenya Forest Service @CCF_Kenya gave the approval on November 1.
Donโt we deserve this beauties in our life time on our land? Why would anybody ok the transfer of these incredible, beautiful, majestic species of flora and fauna?
We are destroying our coast, first it was sand harvesting, now itโs the baobab tree, tomorrow it will be your eyes!
Things I don't understand. The government has approved the uprooting of baobab trees in Kilifi County for export to Georgia for botanical purposes for two years
.@Environment_Ke@CCF_Kenya someone is allegedly digging up & selling ancient giant baobab trees in Kilifi County. Please can you look into this and stop the destruction of our trees HE - @WilliamsRuto has clearly communicated that trees are sacred to be planted not destroyed
Uprooting&exporting Baobab trees which are hundreds of years old from Mtondia Kilifi county must be the most callous&stupidest thing allowed& supervised by GoK honchos.
To make it worse @NemaKenya blessed this nonsense.
@MamaRachelRuto is championing tree planting..paradox ?.
Somewhere in the world a Kenyan is doing double and triple shifts at work to raise Kenyan children and support Kenyaโs economy. Even if they worked just for themselves, they would still be amazing patriots.
May God hide them under his wings where no evil can touch them.
