Environment and Forestry Cabinet Secretary Keriako Tobiko over the weekend met Samburu leaders over establishing and securing the forest boundaries to enable complete reclamation. CS Tobiko spearheaded the tree planting exercise where a total of 11,000 seedlings were planted. CS Tobiko noted with appreciation the critical role the frontline forest officers play in forest conservation, management, and protection. In addition, the CS relished the panoramic landscapes, bonfire experience, visitation by zebra, relentless laughing hyenas, and pounding rains which form part of the great eco-tourism potential the forest ecosystem offers.
