The Environment and Land Court has significantly limited the amount of Karura Forest land that can be used for the expansion of Kiambu Road, overturning a larger previous approval. This decision follows a legal challenge asserting a lack of public participation and proper environmental assessments.

• Only 0.1233 hectares (approximately 0.3047 acres) of Karura Forest are allowed for road expansion, instead of the initially approved 51.64 acres.
• The Green Belt Movement, co-founded by Nobel Laureate Wangari Maathai, filed the petition challenging the proposed expansion.
• The court revoked two special user licenses issued by the Kenya Forest Service (KFS), citing the absence of public participation.
