- Nelson Amenya has exposed a fresh scandal involving Ngong Road Forest land.
- He claims a powerful MP’s wife is leading a hidden hotel project.
- The eco-camps are allegedly a cover for luxury AFCON tourism business.
- Green Belt Movement and Kenyans are demanding answers.
- Kenya Forest Service had paused the works earlier due to complaints.
- There’s rising pressure on the government to explain the land use plans.
Whistleblower Nelson Amenya, known for his earlier role in exposing the JKIA-Adani deal, has now turned attention to another controversial project—this time within the Ngong Road Forest Sanctuary.
In a fresh statement made public, Amenya alleged that part of the forest is being taken over for what’s being presented as an “eco-camp” development. However, he insisted the real plan is a luxury hotel setup, cleverly branded to appear environmentally friendly.
According to Amenya, the person behind the project is none other than the spouse of a well-connected UDA lawmaker, and the structures are said to be meant for hosting foreign visitors during the upcoming AFCON tournament, which Kenya will co-host with Tanzania and Uganda.
KFS Cornered as Public Demands Clarity
His statement came shortly after the Green Belt Movement raised serious concerns over how such developments could be allowed in a protected natural area.
The Kenya Forest Service (KFS) had previously stopped the construction after public outcry but later revealed the name of the licensed developer, though questions still linger around the approval process.
This new twist has only added to the growing public backlash, with citizens and environmental groups now urging the authorities to explain how such forest land could be leased out at a time when Kenya is pushing for climate protection.
KFS and government officials are now under increased pressure to clarify the true purpose of the project and whether the law was followed in approving the development.
