Truphena Muthoni has publicly stated that she is aiming to set a new Guinness World Record soon after breaking the tree-hugging World Record.
In a public Facebook post, Truphena Muthoni shared photos of video calls with various individuals, but she has not provided details about the people or the record she wants to break.
“A new Guinness World Records, so soon? Are we even allowed to do this? For our children for the Earth… for the matriarchy? Guess what, Guess where ……”, her post read.
“Go girl, shine brighter than before, congratulations,” Mary Nabwire replied to her post, encouraging Truphena to keep up the good work.
Despite the support from most of the people in the comments, others have expressed their worry that she is pushing her luck.
“This is the rainy season. Wait until January 2027,” Yusuf Majaliwa replied in her post, and Truphena replied to him that it is the best time to plant trees, and that the new record might have something to do with tree planting.
