Four heavy-duty vehicles were ceremoniously launched off at the Kenya Forest Service (KFS) Headquarters by Chief Conservator of Forests Alex Lemarkoko.
KFS’s operational capabilities will be significantly enhanced by these vehicles, which were acquired through the Green Zones Development Support Project Phase II.
They will enhance patrol and mobility capabilities, enabling KFS staff to cover broader regions more effectively and react to incidents faster. Activities related to monitoring, conservation, and forest management all depend on this increased efficiency.
Speaking to the group, the Chief Conservator of Forests emphasised the need for everyone to work diligently in order for the Service to meet its goal of having 30% tree cover by 2032.
In order to guarantee the success of their conservation efforts, he underlined the necessity of making the most use of the resources available.
Project Manager Jerome Mwanzia gave a speech at the ceremony outlining the project’s noteworthy accomplishments to date.
In the past, the initiative has supplied four trucks, eight Land Cruisers, two buses, fifteen tractors, forty-five motorcycles, and twenty-six double and single cabins. The scheme works across 15 counties, and these cars have been methodically dispersed around those counties.
