The Ambassador of South Korea to Kenya His Excellency Chan-Woo Kim recently toured parts of the Mau Forest Complex to familiarize himself with the initiatives the government and KFS have put in place to reclaim and rehabilitate the important water tower. This followed a meeting between the KFS Director Mr. David Mbugua and the Korean Deputy Permanent Representative to UNEP Mr. Jeong Jogfeon earlier where the Director briefed him on forestry reforms in the country.

The Ambassador who was accompanied by a journalist from Korea who is compiling articles on forestry to highlight the plight of forests this being the International Year of Forests toured rehabilitation sites in Sururu Forest Station and also visited Menengai Forest Station in Nakuru where he saw the Menengai Crater and learned of the ecotourism activities being undertaken by KFS in the area.

The Ambassador was met and briefed by the Head of Mau Conservancy Mr. Cosmas Ikiugu on the various opportunities and challenges associated with the biggest water catchment in the East African region. He informed the Ambassador that the Government through KFS had achieved a lot in the restoration of the forest noting that all squatters had been evicted. He added that the government was working on modalities that will see the evictees and those who had proper documents settled elsewhere.

Mr. Chan-Woo Kim who has been in the country for three months pledged to seek support from his government and NGOs from his country working in the country for the conservation and restoration of the Mau Complex.

  2. GET OUT OF FINANCIAL MESS WITH THE HELP OF drbenjaminfinance@gmail.com

    I have been in financial mess for the past months, I’m a single mum with kids to look after. My name is REBECCA MICHAELSON, and am from Ridley Park, Pennsylvania. A couple of weeks ago My friend visited me and along our discussion she told me about DR BENJAMIN OWEN FINANCE of (drbenjaminfinance@gmail.com); that he can help me out of my financial situation, I never believed cause I have spend so much money on different loan lenders who did nothing other than running away with my money. She advised, I gave it a try because she and some of her colleagues were rescued too by this Godsent lender with loans to revive their dying businesses and paying off bills. so I mailed him and explain all about my financial situation and therefore took me through the loan process which was very brief and easy.. After that my loan application worth $78,000.00USD was granted, all i did was to follow the processing and be cooperative and today I am a proud business owner sharing the testimony of God-sent Lender. You can as well reach him through the Company WhatsApp +19292227023 Email drbenjaminfinance@gmail.com
