Kenyans have already had speculations that a prominent person is planning to grab land within the forest.
Arabuko Sokoke is one of the most protected forests in Kenya because it’s heritage being managed by the Kenya Forest Service, Kenya Wildlife Service, National Museums of Kenya and the Kenya Forest Research Institute. Who wants to grad this land ???? https://t.co/UI3camKXLc
