To R. Valley leaders, Mau is just a shamba

By Ibrahim Ndamwe

With the exception of Agriculture minister William Ruto, no Rift Valley leader has equivocally supported Government initiatives to save the Mau Forest. Still, Ruto has not been as forceful as one would expect. Instead, he blows hot and cold depending on the political wind. On occasion, he even publicly contradicts his Prime Minister, a man whose singular obsession with saving this critical water tower must be applauded.
