Investigations over Mt. Kenya are underway

Category: Uncategorized | Date: Oct 09 2007 | By: admin

Mr. Kaka updated me about the situation on the ground which remains quite sensitive. For now we only know that investigations are underway by a number of pressure groups and it may well ignite interest from the IUCN and World Heritage Commission. Until we have more facts we cannot take any action so I will keep you posted in the coming days.

Let us know if there’s anything we can do from over here. We’ve gotten pretty good at writing to news media and Congressional leaders.

Surely this has just been a terrible mistake? Theodolites and hills are not a happy combination at the best of times…
I’m confident that once the Kenyan government official charged with ultimately overseeing such things is made fully aware of the problem they’ll see just how hugely and profoundly embarrassing it is and rectify it.
