The hustler government wishes to send its sincere appreciation to all hustlers who braved the chilly weather, acrophobia, and per diem resistance to make it to their nearest airport to board a standby government chopper to go take pictures with seedlings of tree varieties they knew nothing about.

At a time when the government is finding it difficult to find patriotic Kenyans who can support the high cost of living with their chests out, you, my fellow tree planters, are our national heroes.
