  "account": "Nairobi, Kenya – The Kenya Forest Service (KFS) is seeking public input on a proposal to build an airstrip at the Londiani Forest Station in Kericho County. A stakeholder meeting is scheduled for October 15, 2026, to gather views and comments on the proposed project. The KFS has invited the public to attend the meeting and submit their thoughts in person or through written submissions by October 22, 2026. This follows a recent legal case that suspended plans for a similar development in Upper Imenti Forest, which conservation groups argued would harm wildlife habitats.",
