Government Spokesman Isaac Mwaura has announced that 14 million trees were planted during the May 10 National Tree Growing Day.
Mwaura attributed the data to the Jazamiti app, which Kenyans or institutions use to document their tree-planting activities.
Mwaura has called upon Kenyans to continue with initiatives aimed at teaching the culture of tree planting.
President William Ruto declared national public holidays on November 13 last year and May 10 this year, with the goal of planting one billion trees in a single day.
Additionally, President Ruto signed legislation to rename October 10 as Mazingira Day, when all Kenyans participate in environmental conservation activities.
