Environment CS Keriako Tobiko has warned that nothing will be hidden by the 15-member task force that will unearth the wanton destruction of Kenya's forests. The task force will have 14 days to prepare a report on the forest sector as well as propose remedial measures aimed at reversing the destruction. Ahead of the unveiling of the team on Tuesday, Tobiko urged the Kenya Forest Service board to ensure the moratorium on logging is enforced ruthlessly. Tobiko noted wanton destruction of water towers, riparian areas and forests as saw millers conspire with some officers. Enforce it relentlessly and ruthlessly," he said, adding he was ready to do whatever it took to protect water towers.
