President William Ruto has said he will soon launch an application dubbed JazaMiti.
He said the app will be used by Kenyans or institutions to document their tree-planting activities.
Ruto's utterances came after he said he will be planting one million trees after losing the World Cup bet to First Lady Rachel Ruto.

"Kenyans, the media and the First Lady must be eager to know: How do we know that the tree planting story is real? How do we establish that, indeed, these trees are going to be grown as stated?"
"I will shortly be launching the #JazaMiti application, one that every Kenyan or institution will use to document their tree planting. The app will help to monitor, over time, the growth of trees," he said.
He said the app is an innovative and effective system that will use ICT to monitor tree growing and conservation activities, track them over time and report on performance.
The President was speaking during the launch of the National Programme for accelerated forestry and rangeland restoration.
"We would like to monitor the growth of the trees in the journey to reach the 15 billion target in 10 years," he said.
"I have instructed the Cabinet Secretary for Environment to make ‘Mission 15b#JazaMiti campaign a truly tree growing campaign."
