Deliberate planning should save our water towers, livelihoods

Kenya’s all-important and life giving water towers are in real danger from perennial assault. This has put untold pressure on the precious natural resources. The Mau Forest Complex, for instance, has become a hotbed of not only bloody conflicts but also high octane politics.

Every year, reports of clashes in the diminishing complex have been the norm and this can be traced back to the original sin of thoughtless and wanton destruction of all Kenya’s water towers.
