Your efforts over three decades to see the Aberdares Fence built suggest you consider the Aberdares forest ecosystem to be of great importance to Kenya. If KFS' core revenue came from plantations outside indigenous forest and by funded extension services to farmers in a nationwide woodlots expansion drive, things would look different. There still remains a tea estate within the indigenous forest boundary. There is now talk of a highway being built through the Aberdares National Park. Produce grown by farmers on the east and west side of the Aberdares is similar, so national forest dissection is not neccessary.
