The Kenya Forest Service (KFS) has dismissed allegations that the construction works inside Ngong Road Forest in Nairobi are illegal.
In a brief statement on Tuesday, February 25, the forest service clarified that the ongoing works by Kenya Railways Corporation inside the forest were official.
According to KFS, Kenya Railways had already submitted an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report, which was used to evaluate the project's significant effects on the forest ecosystem.
KFS also revealed that it received other crucial documents such as the public participation report and design report that were also used to grant Kenya Railways access to the forest land.
