Celebs come to Kisite marine park’s rescue

It’s very encouraging when celebs with considerable clout decide to use their influence for a great cause. 

While the country is all the rage about politics and elections, something grave is happening right under our noses.

Kisite Mpunguti marine park was secretly put up for sale in a very controversial move that has managed to evade the country’s attention. Ki who? Kisite is a marine park of unparalleled beauty along the Kenyan coast, popular with tourists from around the globe. As you all know, Tourism is the third highest foreign currency earner for the country. The Kisite Marine ecosystem covers a marine area with four small islands surrounded by coral-reefs.

Among those passionately spearheading the #savekisite campaign on twitter are Radio Africa’s Marcus Olang and Mutua Matheka, famed photographer and blogger. Also lending his voice to this campaign is none other than Chiwawa. To sign the petition, please follow this link.
