Ugandans lease farms from Mt Elgon forest encroachers who own between 10 to 100 acres each at 10k per acre. Very few poor kenyans benefit from this so called shamba system as DCC of cheptais Mr Koch watch. @StateHouseKenya @citizentvkenya @K24Tv @TheStarKenya

Let's save Mt Elgon Forest. The Cheptais DCC Mr Koech and MP Mt Elgon Hon Kapondi are the main beneficiaries of corruption that have led to merciless destruction of this great water tower. @StateHouseKenya @citizentvkenya @TheStarKenya @KTNNewsKE @K24Tv @keriokotobiko

Mt Elgon forest is dying under supervision of the DCC of Cheptais and the MP of Mt Elgon. Chiefs have farms in the forest as the DCC gets bribes and the MP gets votes from encroaches. @KeForestService @StateHouseKenya @ngaosKE @KTNNewsKE @DCI_Kenya @keriakotobiko

Mt Elgon Forest dying a painful death. Chiefs, forest officers and CFAs sells one acre of untouched natural forest for 10k, charcoal burners are allowed to live in the forest, Ugandans lease cleared grounds at 10k. @StateHouseKenya @FredMatiangi @citizentvkenya @KTNNewsKE

Mt Elgon forest is being cleared to create space for farming. This is done as corrupt KFS helplessly watch. Also the forest officers create shamba systems at will. Indigenous trees as old as 500 years and more than 50 metres tall are being felt down.
