Yes to Aberdare road, but go for sustainable alternative
A cross- section of Environment organizations have assured President William Ruto that they do not oppose the ambitious 500-kilometer Mau Mau road project – a large-scale infrastructure project by the Government of Kenya, which aims to improve inter-county connectivity and bolster economic growth.
However, they are urging the president to consider a more sustainable option for the proposed section of the road cutting through Aberdare National Park.
They recommend the 32-kilometer Kariamu-Ndunyu Njeru road over the controversial 49-kilometer Ihithe-Ndunyu Njeru route, proposed by the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA), which would destroy one of the few remaining critical water towers and mountain forest ecosystems in Kenya.
