August 12, 2011 - President Mwai Kibaki has directed the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) to ensure that all infrastructural projects uphold environment conservation.
President Kibaki stressed that construction and development projects should not translate to turning Kenya’s urban centres into concrete jungles.
He directed NEMA and other relevant government authorities to ensure that road contractors and private real estate developers always have a green environmental plan embedded in their projects.
The President ordered, “I direct that NEMA and other relevant authorities follow up on this issue so that beautiful greenery is part of our development process.”
He was speaking when he officially launched the construction of Nairobi Western Ring Roads at Likoni Lane, off Dennis Pritt Road.
During the occasion the President underlined that the Government wants urban roads network constructed to excellent standards to cater for the transportation needs of city residents and to facilitate rapid economic investments in urban areas. read more>>>
