By Dr Tom Nyangau & Onwong’a Yabesh

Kisii town  has in recent past remained an evergreen  and eco friendly town  in Kenya  for a long time in spite of the fewer  environmental challenges  of rudimentary  solid and liquid waste disposal and air pollution management hiccups .  However  until  recently unprecedented  infrastructural development  of sky rise buildings in most parts  of the town which saw  both exotic and indigenous trees species as old as 70-100 years   cleared to pave way for the new buildings compromising  the purification  of air  and putting the lives of 65000 night and 80,000 day residents of Kisii town in jeopardy.
