Ruto orders police graduates to plant 10M trees in their homes as a commemoration of their graduation.
President William Ruto on Wednesday, January 11, ordered over 1900 administration police graduates to plant at least 30 trees in their homes as a commemoration of their graduation.
Ruto stressed that the police officers must help make Kenya more environmentally friendly while speaking at a pass-out parade at the Embakasi A College.
He said that his government has given the Nairobi security services the go-ahead to launch a drive to plant over 10 million trees in Eastlands and other areas of the city.
The drive, according to Ruto, would be crucial in addressing the issues facing Kenya and, indirectly, the rest of the globe in the fight against global warming.
He claims that the government, in collaboration with the Nairobi County Government, will launch a program to plant trees in Nairobi’s Eastlands neighborhood.

The President also instructed the college’s commandant to make sure that the incoming recruits plant trees inside the institution.
“We have a major problem in matters of our environment in Kenya and the world at large.
“I have requested the commandant of this campus and other stakeholders in the security sector to help us plant over 10 million trees in Nairobi.
Ruto’s directive came at a time Kenya was aiming to achieve its tree-planting goals.
Ruto promised to oversee the planting of more than 10 million trees in 10 years soon after taking office. He also set out on a quest to conserve the environment.
He also raised the bar on his ambition by attempting to persuade Africa to plant trees in the face of the challenges brought on by climate change.
Consequently, Ruto was elected the Chair of the Committee of African Heads of State and Government on Climate Change and made a keynote address at the COP27 held in Egypt.
The President planted 56 trees to commemorate his age on his 56th birthday, setting what he hoped would be a model for all Kenyans.
