President William Ruto has said his administration will not allow people to graze or cultivate crops in forests. Speaking in Chepseon market in Kericho, the President said the practice is likely to lead to the destruction of forests. “You have heard about climate change. Kenya was almost destroyed by adverse weather conditions just the other year and it was because of environmental degradation,” he said. You want to graze in the forest. What do you want to go to do in forests? I am told those who go to graze in the forest carry an axe along,” Ruto said. The President wondered why people graze in the forests with axes. “I am told that when the cows are grazing, you are busy cutting down trees. We will not allow that to happen,” he said. The issue of farming within forests is a sensitive topic in Kenya. https://www.the-star.co.ke/news/realtime/2024-03-15-i-wont-allow-anybody-to-graze-or-farm-in-forests-ruto/

I applaud President Ruto's stance against grazing and farming in forests. #PreservingForests is crucial for mitigating climate change as they serve as carbon sinks and support biodiversity.

If those who go to gaze their cattle in the forest carry axes to cut down the trees, I support the grazing to be banned coz their practice will led to deforestation

It is a move that requires to be exercised with a degree of caution as a lot of dependency exists between these forests and communities. We need to put clear guidelines as we also have wild animals in these forests and we are not getting rid of those either
