ROAD RESERVES

(Departmental Committee on Transport and Infrastructure)

(The Hon. John Kiarie, M.P.)

THAT, aware that Article 42 of the Constitution accords every person the right to a clean and healthy environment and that Article 69 (1)(d) also mandates the State to encourage public participation in the management, protection and conservation of the environment; further aware that, deforestation is one of the main contributors to climate change; noting that, Kenya has not been spared by the effects of global warming and climate change as a result of deforestation amongst other aspects; also aware that, the road network in the country currently stands at approximately 177,800 kilometres with a development rate of 600km per annum; deeply concerned that, there has been persistent destruction of trees and vegetation along the road reserves and roadsides during road construction leading to adverse effects on the ecosystem; cognizant that, studies have shown that the benefits accumulated from roadside tree planting include better soil formation due to shedding of dead leaves, increased water quality by reducing sediment flow, reduced erosion, road beautification, flood control as the trees slow and absorb water runoff, wind-breaking, providing important pollinator, habitats, improving peoples’ health, and protecting crops; now therefore, this House resolves that the Government includes a component of tree planting in all road network designs and also makes it compulsory for road contractors to replace any tree harvested during road construction upon completion of the project.
