Security personnel have embarked on a crackdown on perpetrators of environmental degradation in Gwasi forest in Suba South Sub County.
Area Deputy County Commissioner Sebastian Okiring said some criminals were burning forest land to create space for growing bhang.
He said so far they have uprooted over 30 acres of bhang in Gwasi Forest and that they were in hot pursuit of the culprits.
Speaking on Sunday during a Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS) open day in Ruma National Park, Okiring urged members of the public to volunteer crucial information to the authorities about those behind the menace.
KWS Head of Partnership and Air Wing Captain Michael Nicholson said that the KWS was committed to addressing the challenges faced by the rangers.
