Another Forest Falls! Ruto’s Alleged Plan to Flatten 50 Acres of Imenti for State Lodge & Golf Course Sparks Outrage!
Kenya’s love affair with deforestation has taken a dangerous new twist — this time, straight into the heart of Imenti Forest. According to a bombshell report in the Standard Newspaper, 50 acres of the protected forest have been earmarked for destruction, allegedly to pave way for a luxury State Lodge and Golf Course.
Yes, you read that right — as Kenyans cry about climate change, vanishing rivers, and choking cities, bulldozers are reportedly being lined up to clear indigenous trees for presidential leisure.
This comes hot on the heels of widespread public anger over forest encroachments in Karura, Ngong, Suam, Oloolua, and even the Aberdares. Environmental activists are now warning that the Imenti move could trigger irreversible damage to biodiversity, water catchment areas, and wildlife corridors.
The revelation has left many asking: “At what cost are we trading trees for tees?” 🌍⛳
If true, the Imenti plan could be the biggest environmental scandal yet under Ruto’s watch, and critics say it exposes the government’s double-speak on conservation and climate action.
