The Kenya Forest Service (KFS) has dismissed reports circulating online alleging that construction has resumed at the Ngong Road forest block.

In a statement, the Service described the claims as false and malicious confirming that there are no ongoing construction works at the site, where plans for an eco-tourism facility had earlier been suspended.

Kenya Forest Service has noted false information circulating online regarding resumption of construction of an eco-tourism site, which was halted earlier on in the year,” the statement read.

“This post is completely false, and issued with malicious intent. The Service confirms there is no ongoing construction works in that particular site.”

It further clarified that the only security personnel deployed in the area are KFS forest rangers.
