The Central Organisation of Trade Unions (COTU) Secretary General Francis Atwoli has called for the dissolution of the Nairobi National Park to pave the way for other infrastructural projects and the expansion of the capital city, Nairobi.
While addressing the media on Sunday, Atwoli made the suggestions while responding to Karen residents who have been opposing the 12.5-kilometre railway line that is set to connect Riruta and Ngong.
Atwoli asserted that there is a need to sacrifice some establishments, such as parks and forests, for economic growth and decogestion of the city.
The COTU boss said that the national park should be dissolved and all animals in it transferred to other prominent parks such as the Maasai Mara National Park.
