Twisted logic of importing useless palms from Malaysia, exporting 500-year baobabs to Georgia

Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja. [Samson Wire, Standard]

Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja intends to import mature palm trees from Malaysia to beautify city thoroughfares, perhaps because we have cut so many trees in recent years.

Please don't laugh at the idea; when so many things have gone wrong, even the most absurd could sound uplifting. I suppose none of us has forgotten what Mike Sonko's City Hall looked like.
