Busia Senator Okiya Omtatah wants the government to be clear regarding a proposed parking facility and associated developments within or adjacent to Nairobi National Park, terming it a matter of National concern.
Omtatah, in a statement before the Senate, pointed out that reports indicate that a large-scale parking facility and associated infrastructure are being developed within or in proximity to Nairobi National Park as part of broader plans linked to facilities surrounding the park.
The Busia Senator told fellow Senators that the proposed excision, degradation, fragmentation or alteration of protected habitats within the park and its surrounding ecosystem has far-reaching implications for Kenya's environmental future and the rights of future generations.
