Shamba system is a bad idea that will deplete forests, experts warn

Environmentalists have warned that reintroduction of the outlawed shamba system will deplete the already deteriorated forests.

Addressing mourners during the burial of Baringo deputy governor Charles Kipng'ok, on Saturday, Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua announced that the government will allow Kenyans to cultivate the forests to increase food production in the country.

Green Thinking Action Party leader, Dr Isaac Kalua, said Sunday the DP's proposal - which he termed a matter of grave concern to the country, was not well-informed and could have serious repercussions if implemented.
