Kisumu county government has warned residents riding on walkways and destroying trees planted towards greening the city. Wanga called on residents to be responsible in conserving their environment saying they will not tolerate the destruction of trees and walkways. “We are appealing to our people to embrace tree planting to make our homes more habitable,” Wanga said. “We are launching and spearheading the campaign by planting trees to increase the tree cover and green the city,” he said. Nyong’o said the initiative was in line with his manifesto, where he pledged to have at least 1 million trees planted yearly.
