Kenya govt halts export of Baobab trees to Georgia

Sometimes I think our people are crazy. Who got this idea of uprooting trees that have taken decades to grow and export them to foreign countries? Even the ministries that approved such deals should be throughly investigated. Soory, it will never happen. Last time we are hearing of this madness.

Those poor households need to be allowed to sell those damned trees. Hi fetish with trees is nonsense. Kama tu ujinga banning charcoal burning of invasive mathenge shrub by hungry Baringo residents.
