Last week, Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja issued a statement in defence of the county government's decision to prune an iconic acacia tree in the city centre.
According to Sakaja, the decision followed an outcry from residents who said the tree had become a haven for marabou stocks, whose droppings soiled people's clothes and vehicles.
The governor said he was equally devastated by the pruning of the tree that may have taken decades to nurture.
