Lawyer Ndegwa Njiru and MP Wanjiku Muhia have exposed logging activities taking place in the Aberdare Forest, which they say are being conducted by the Kenyan Government.
The two have successfully obtained a court injunction halting all logging activities in the Aberdare Forest.
The ongoing logging in Nyeri must be halted immediately. We cannot remain silent while our forests are systematically destroyed. It is time for the people of Nyeri and Kenya to rise and demand accountability and protection of our environment.
Kipipiri MP Wanjiku Muhia and residents intercepted a lorry loaded with logs from the Aberdare Forest, with timber trucks now switching from the Magumu route to Mawingu to avoid detection despite a court order suspending logging activities.

Nakuru County. One month apart.
They wanted more space for pedestrians, so they cut down the beautiful jacaranda trees. Someone once said that corruption alone does not explain why our counties, and the country at large, struggle to develop but also inadequate education, limited exposure, and appointing people who have neither formal training nor practical knowledge of the departments they lead.
Happy Mazingira Day, Mr President @WilliamsRuto.
Kenya has set an ambitious target of growing 15 billion trees by 2032, but we continue to witness the cutting down of trees in different parts of the country.
How will we achieve the 15 billion tree target if we are still losing trees? What concrete measures is your government taking to protect existing forests while expanding tree cover?
Environmental conservation must go beyond planting trees. We must also protect the trees and forests we already have.

This #MazingiraDay and every day, we must speak out against the destruction of our forests by President William Ruto Regime. Illegal logging, forest grabbing and the exploitation of our natural resources cannot continue at the expense of our people and future generations.
This must STOP!!

This is the kind of logging going on in the Aberdares. A forest now looks like a football field. Kenya Forest Service needs to tell Kenyans who is behind all this destruction.
@Coopbankenya Nimeshukishwa kwa matutu because of your shitty services asanteni sana. Nothing is working and now it has become a habit. Kila Friday Jamani nkt.
