On 13th November 2024, the government announced a random tree planting holiday, and its top officials went all out to plant trees towards achieving the ambitious 15 billion trees by 2032. In a breakaway from the normal flocking of all top officials where the President is, Cabinet Secretaries and their Principal Secretaries were all dispatched to different counties around the country to plant trees. It became an expensive affair, as the same officials not only used big fuel-guzzling vehicles to reach their destination, quite a number of them made use of helicopters to reach far-flung areas and thereby beating the very reason for which they came out to plant trees, all the while costing the taxpayer millions of shillings.
