The court has certified this matter as urgent, indicating that it will be heard on 22/9/25. This quick action emphasizes the seriousness of the issue and the potential impact on access to one of Nairobi’s beloved green spaces. For many, Karura Forest is not just a recreational area; it represents a vital escape from city life and a sanctuary for wildlife.
The push to enforce payment through eCitizen has sparked significant debate. Many believe that this method could limit access for those who may not have the means to pay online or navigate digital payment systems. Advocates for the forest argue that public access should remain open and equitable for everyone, regardless of their technological proficiency.
The hashtags #HandsOffKarura and #SaveKarura have gained traction on social media, reflecting widespread public sentiment. This movement is not just about fees; it’s about preserving the essence of Karura Forest as a community space. It’s a rallying cry for all who cherish the natural beauty and tranquility that the forest provides.
As we await the court’s decision, the community remains hopeful that access to Karura Forest will continue to be inclusive. For more updates on this unfolding situation, follow @karurafriends and stay engaged with the conversation surrounding the future of this precious green space.
