President William Ruto has said the government is committed to reclaiming and conserving water catchment areas in the country. Ruto was speaking on Saturday during the launch of the 7th edition of the Annual Kaptagat Tree Planting in Elgeyo Marakwet County. “Over the next 10 years, we will grow at least 15 billion trees and restore 10.6 million hectares of degraded forests and rangelands,” Ruto said. “I appeal to every Kenyan to plant at least 30 trees each year,” Ruto said. “This extraordinary effort is what we ask for now as we confront the climate crisis that threatens our future,” Ruto said.
