President William Ruto on Monday, December 15, hosted 22-year-old climate activist Truphena Muthoni at State House, Nairobi.
In recognition of her courage, resilience and leadership in championing environmental stewardship, Ruto appointed Muthoni as an ambassador of the 15 Billion Tree Planting Campaign, a flagship national initiative aimed at restoring degraded landscapes and securing Kenya’s environmental future.
The campaign is a central pillar of the government’s climate action agenda, targeting massive tree cover expansion across the country.
“As a mark of national honour for her exemplary service to environmental stewardship, I have conferred upon Truphena Muthoni the Head of State Commendation (HSC) Medal,” Ruto announced.
President Ruto praised the young activist for using innovative and symbolic action to rally Kenyans around environmental protection.
