one thing about kenya is that we have the lowest level of preparedness in the world . when the forestry department sends out people with brooms to put out a forest fire then you know we are in problems . someone needs to be sacked

Is that 3rd guy on the right shooting the fire using a rifle ???

i agree and i shudder to think the amount of resources training people on disaster preparedness and risk reduction and then you see this...

The KWS chopper been joined by another one offered by a volunteer, Lady Lori, and are now spraying the forest with water.

British Army has provided one chopper which is helping survey the areas affected and airlifting the firefighters at the regions affected.

3 choppers in total. Yaani KWS has only one fire fighting chopper?? wooi why cant the goverment hire some from our neighbours before this fire consumes the whole region cz its very possible? Are we really serious or is somebody sleeping on his job?

KFS Nyeri zonal manager Muchiri Mathinji says 'We urge anybody who can offer any kind of help to come on board to save our forest.

The picture at the top reminds us that Kenya is a third world country, I'll prepared to sort out any of our problems. If it is not fires, it is floods, malaria, AIDS, lack of medication, no water. While this is going on, we have not had any help from mighty China. Yet our politicians keep thumping their chest that we are a sovereign state and don't want any western influence. I bet this is a reality check of how miserable a country we are that needs foreign aid endlessly. ' tunaomba donors watusaidie '
