Dr. Moses Mwangi Urges Kenyans to Answer President Ruto’s Call for Tree Planting
In a resounding call to action, Dr. Moses Mwangi, renowned medic, astute professional, and business leader, has urged Kenyans to seize the golden opportunity presented by the government’s directive to plant trees.
This clarion call comes in the wake of His Excellency President William Ruto’s decree, mandating all citizens to participate in reforestation efforts.
Dr. Mwangi emphasized the importance of not only planting trees but also nurturing them to maturity, underscoring their pivotal role in combating climate change. He called upon the government to fortify laws governing logging to ensure the realization of appropriate forest cover levels.
Highlighting the multifaceted benefits of trees, Dr. Mwangi underscored their significance as sources of food, medicine, shade, and habitats for wildlife, as well as their capacity to attract rainfall.
President Ruto’s ambitious vision of planting 15 billion trees by 2032 has received widespread support, culminating in the declaration of Friday, May 10th, 2024, as a public holiday dedicated to tree planting.
This initiative serves as a poignant tribute to the victims of recent flooding disasters, which claimed the lives of over 250 individuals and displaced countless others from their homes.
As Kenya rallies behind President Ruto’s call for environmental stewardship, Dr. Mwangi’s impassioned plea resonates, echoing the collective responsibility to safeguard the nation’s natural heritage for generations to come.
