Kenya is run by mad men. In 2018 logging had been banned in because forests were being depleted at the rate of about 5,000 hectares per annum. This led to an estimated annual reduction in water availability of 62 million cubic metres. But now @KIPPRAKENYA reports that “because the government lifted the ban on logging in Oct 2023 in commercial forests to allow “harvest of mature trees” the @KeForestService (KFS) produced a set of rules that will “guide” the harvesting of 5,000 hectares of commercial forests per annum of the 150,000 hectares of gazetted public forest” So how do you @KeForestService decide to harvest at the same rate that saw Kenya losing 62Million cubic metres of water annually? Have you lost your minds? If losing 5,000 hectares a year was a crisis in 2018, why is cutting 5,000 hectares a year acceptable now? Also who got the tender? I want to see something.
