MANDAGO LEADS CAMPAIGN FOR CLIMATE CHANGE THROUGH ELDO- CITY MARATHON

Every household in Uasin Gishu has been urged to plant at least 50 trees this rainy season in order to reduce the county’s forest cover deficit by a half.

“If a minimum of a hundred thousand households plants 50 trees then we shall be talking about 5 million trees being planted and in two seasons we shall have achieved the required 10 million trees”, Mandago said.

The governor was speaking Thursday during Eldoret City International Marathon Media breakfast where several organisations also presented their sponsorship cheques.

Mandago was emphasising on the clarion call by Ms Mary Njogu county executive member for Environment and Water who called on the residents to put more effort in order for Uasin Gishu to close the gap on forest cover from 7.56% to the UNEP required ten per cent forest cover.

“ We are pleased to note that over 50 thousand seedlings were planted through the efforts of last year’s Eldoret City Marathon. It is crucial that our athletes train in a good environment and this will be achieved through good forest cover” Lyomu said.

Uasin Gishu County speaker, David Kiplagat also pledged support to the marathon stating that the county assembly is ready to offer legislative and any other support required to achieve the marathon’s goal of climate change through re-afforestation of Uasin Gishu.
