Fred Ogola: 'There's no proper plan for tree planting drive'

Ogola also lamented that the government is more focused on achieving the 15 billion trees target instead of growing just enough trees that will bear a positive impact on the country.

On Monday, November 13, President William Ruto spearheaded the national tree-planting exercise in Makindu, Makueni County, where he planted a tree and urged Kenyans to embrace the culture of tree planting.

Ruto was joined by leaders across the country in the exercise taking advantage of the short rains experienced in different parts of the country.

Kenya began the journey to plant 15 billion trees by 2032.
