Kitui Governor Charity Ngilu on Saturday stood firm on her resolve to curtail charcoal production and sand harvesting. Ngilu reiterated her unwavering stand on charcoal and sand ban. The demonstrators accused Ngilu of inciting Kitui residents to impound and torch lorries that transport charcoal from Kitui to other counties. She took to social media to defend the govenor’s stand to end charcoal production. It doesn’t matter whether or not the charcoal lorry belongs to a Mutua, Otieno, Oletipis, Kamau, Mwiti or Arap Too,” Mutua said.
