Nairobi Regional Commander Mr Adamson Bungei said it is important for people to make the city of Nairobi greener by planting more trees.
He said the National Police Service is at the forefront in supporting the planting of trees in Nairobi County adding that is the reason they gave an opportunity for trees to be planted in the land of the police houses.
“We are planting trees here at the residence of our policemen to show that we are stakeholders among our fellow Kenyans campaigning for tree planting,” Mr Bungei remarked.

Regarding security, Mr Bungei warned criminals that their 40 days are approaching.
“Being a criminal, you have two choices in life. Either you stop committing crimes or continue doing evil so that we will deal with you accordingly,” Mr Bungei warns.
He said that security in Nairobi County has improved in the past three months adding that cooperating with the Nyumba Kumi Committee is also a factor.
“Nowadays a police officer is the one who goes to the citizen to serve him/her compared to the past when the memberof public was the one who sought the police service,” Mr Bungea added.
Others who attended the event included Starehe sub-county commissioner-Mr John Kisang, heads of divisions, chiefs, their assistants, various organisations, women’s and youth groups.
