By BERNARDINE MUTANUMore by this AuthorThe Kenya Forest Service (KFS) was Tuesday hard-pressed to explain how a Chinese firm got a licence to excavate stones and materials from Oloolua Forest, Ngong Hills in Kajiado County. This was after photos and videos which showed massive destruction in the forest purportedly by the Chinese emerged online on Monday. REPORTS“I started receiving some reports yesterday that Kenya Forest Service rangers on patrol had arrested a lorry ferrying quarry materials from this forest. According to a contractual agreement between the Hydro Masters and CCCC, which Daily Nation obtained, the agreement stipulates that CCCC East Africa was a “service provider”. The company then requested KFS to assign its rights, under the special-use licence, to Hydro Masters and the request was granted in June 2017.
