Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja, on Tuesday, December 27, denied reports that Uhuru Park was littered after the Christmas Celebrations. Through a statement, Sakaja clarified that the photos were not captured inside the revamped Uhuru Park but another one adjacent to it. Sakaja further explained that Uhuru Park was immediately closed after the Nairobi festival which ended on Friday, December 16. However, another environmentalist defended Sakaja, maintaining that the litter was not dumped at Uhuru Park. In the first part of the rehabilitation works, Uhuru Park was fitted with walking paths, skating parks and even restaurants.
