From Kenya-
Anglican Archbishop Jackson ole Sapit has urged politicians to stop meddling in the Mau Forest evictions.
He said the water tower is the source of several rivers, and its protection should not be politicised.
“The
preservation of Mau Forest should not be politicised. We are seeing
politicians from certain communities politicising the issue for their
own gain. They should remember that at the top of Mau is the main swamp
that distributes water to other rivers,” he said.
“The
environment is groaning because people have destroyed it. We urge the
President not to relent in the preservation of Mau Forest and other
water catchment areas across the country,” he added.
Archbishop
Sapit, who hails from Narok, where some rivers whose source is the Mau
Forest Complex, said they were beginning to dry up due to uncontrolled
human activity.
