VIDEO: Kitui residents burn down a lorry transporting charcoal
Angry Kitui residentsย early Thursday morningย impounded and burnt down a lorry transporting charcoal from Mwingi to Nairobi, following Kitui governor Charity Ngilu’s order to ban the exportation of charcoal from the county to other counties.
The Kitui governor had early this monthย ย called on the crackdown on anybody found burning or ferrying charcoal from Kitui to other counties saying that charcoal burningย was killing the economy and destroying the environment.
The government has however warned Kitui residents against terrorizing charcoal traders transiting the county from the neighbouring Tana river county.
