Sections of Uhuru Park will be hived off to "expand Uhuru Highway".
Parts of Karura Forest will be hived off "to plant tree seedlings and build rangers' accommodation units".
Parts of Nairobi National Park will be hived off "to construct parking yards for the new Bomas International Convention Centre".
Sections of Ngong Forest are being cut down for "the construction of the Ngong-Riruta rail line and an international resort and casino".
Practically every green and gazetted area within the Nairobi Metropolitan area is being targeted.
And this is place where scrutiny is highest.
Can you imagine what is happening in gazetted areas in the Rift Valley.
When pastoralists are in power, every green space is either pasture for "wega ngombe wagule yiote" or merely something to degazette, cut down and build some ugly concrete structure.
Scarcity mentality at birth.
#NairobiNationalPark is not a parking lot.
Today, we stood against plans to excise 90 acres of protected park land for a 1,300-car parking facility. Nine unarmed activists were arrested during the peaceful protest.
Protect nature. Defend civic space.
#NationalParkNotCarPark
The President has a furniture business and suddenly forests are being cleared in the name of development. We should draw a line in the sand as citizens
I was arrested this morning together with fellow patriotic Kenyans during our procession to present a petition to the Kenya Wildlife Services against the excision of part of the Nairobi National Park to construct a 1300-car parking lot.
Our national heritage and environment must be safeguarded from greed and unnecessary destruction without public participation.
A patient missed surgery yesterday because he didn't afford to buy colostomy bag that costs 250.
A governor is outside there buying supplements for wild animals.
Fellow Kenyans, in just two days, your generosity has raised over KES 82,750 through our #Tuskume appeal.
We are truly humbled. Asanteni sana.
I ask you to continue giving as we work together to reset, restore, and rebuild our country.

Someday Raila and Uhuru will be out of the picture but the injustices you support today might boomerang on you because they are getting normalized. Stay woke!
