The management of Karura Forest has not changed, Chief Conservator of Forests Alex Lemarkoko now says, dismissing claims of a government takeover.
His clarification comes after protests by Friends of Karura Forest Association over the introduction of e-Citizen as the mandatory payment system for entry and services at the forest. "The only change is the payment platform.
All other aspects of forest management remain the same.
All staff, including scouts, clerks, cleaners, and contract employees, will be retained," Lemarkoko said in a statement, Saturday.
