C&P
Its a fact that Kalenjin leaders are shy to address the plight of the people evicted from Maasai Mau. Comeon guys get some spine and address the issue.
Children and women are suffering, properties have been destroyed.
The situation is now developing into a human crisis with the chilling cold and homeless people all over.
You guys had a chance to prepare the people for this eventuality but you chose to keep quiet and let the notices elapse .
We hear you will now be flying in and out of makeshift camps without a proper homegrown solutions nor food or clothing or even some shelter for the victims who are now at the mercies of God.
Rest assured that the cries of innocent children and women that are now suffering shall come to haunt you. You may choose to ignore this pain but we as a community may not forgive you.
We are now calling Red Cross and all the people of good will and more so proffessionals from the region to give any help be it blankets shelter,food and medicine as we embark on a journey of resettlement and negotiating with government for a lasting solution to this Vicious cycle of Mau and Evictions.

Over to you @Budspencer
what is eating another one here?
I don’t entertain upuzi ya kuishi mahali unajua ni kwa wenyewe halafu ukiambiwa toka, unaanza ooh nipewe compensation, ooh nataka disturbance allowance etc etc. Same with the guys on road reserves. There was a thread here by the title ‘Sad picture’. I didn’t feel anything for that guy and his house. Hii mchezo ilianza na compensation ya IDPs. No land owner lost his land whether it was 2007/8, 1997, or 1992. Sahii unaskia hata wale kibera walijenga kwa road reserve wakidai compensation,SMH!
It has been addressed this whole week. Senate Majority leader Murkomen was there yesterday. That picture of a burning hut was in 2016 when an MP found it deserted and lit the fire himself to capture the pictures for maximum effect. The issue here is that 1000 families encroached beyond the cutline of May forest and started clearing trees for firewood and farm land. KFS was to evict them in 2016-17 but it was postponed because of elections. Unfortunately they security teams sent there were very forceful to remove them. Now the peace meetings has resolve they move put and government to provide shelter and relief food for the families on humanitarian grounds to shield them for rainy cold season.

Why don’t they just blame Raila for the evictions…case closed and votes consolidated!
On Thursday Kericho Senator Aaron Cheruiyot and Bomet East MP Beatrice Jones were there as well to talk to the people and conduct peace meetings.
This morning, together with my colleague @Hon Beatrice Kones, we embarked on a fact finding mission in Narok South Sub county, Melelo and Lulunga wards. Visited Kirobon,Kitoben,Triangle and Nkoben villages that border the Mau forest.
Unequivocally, the residents are agreeable and support the government in it’s conservation efforts .They propose that anyone found to have crossed the cut line should be evicted immediately.
They also point out that there are residents well within the cut line who have been wrongfully evicted. Such cases should be addressed soonest. Finally, they take great exception in the unbecoming habits of police officers carrying out the forest eviction exercise. Women narrated how on countless occasions, the uniformed officers while on their way to the forest in juvenile anarchy pass by their homes and businesses and forcefully eat to their fill. This we shall raise with the inspector general of police.
We also committed to raise the issues on the floor of both houses of parliament with a view to ensuring conservation of the Mau forest is achieved and no rights of the vulnerable are trampled upon.

Raila hapendi maendeleo. Anabomoa za watu ndio wabaki maskini kama watu wake. Case closed. Class dismissed. Tano tens.
Murkommen ni kasuku, no one believes anything he says including himself.
They already did

Hao watu wamekaa wakiskiza politician akiimba wimbo hawajui that he’s playing for the enemy.
Bottom line, mzito anaweza hive off kilometers of the Mau but mnyonge can’t even squat.
Reality of our life in Kenya.
watu wakule ujeuri yao!
This time round watu wawekwe ndani Friday for incitement wakipelekwa court wapate bail after 3 or 4 days.
They tried to blame ODM, hujaskia?
this is funny, sad and tragic at the same time. So Ruto ordered the squatters to move out, Murkommen says it’s Raila Odinga behind the evictions.
So predictable…What took them so long
We play politics with everything
You support ati Rao ndio ameleta hii shida? Yes or no
Kwani ata ile iko huko kww Murkomen inaitwa Embobut forest ni raila kweli? Folks encroaching on catchment areas should be stopped by all means. However, there are those who bought land a long time ago before the area was gazetted as a catchment area. They should be compensated. Lastly, Murkomen should shut up and follow up on those with genuine title deeds silently if indeed he’s after sorting out this mess
I visited PEV victims in IDP camps in 2008 and I would never wish my worst enemy to be in IDP camp. No Kenyan should spend a night in a camp. On one hand, we must ensure conservation Mau but on the other hand, these Kenyans must be settled in a manner that ensure no one sleep in the cold even for a night.
Been to Embotut @Budspencer …nice forest and well guarded…ngombe zinalala kwa lami hakuna wizi…went up the mountain hadi kwa murkomen nikafika…jama ametoka mbali so I understand his kierehere
We shouldn’t be listening to these squatters /grabbers. They know that is government land yet led by their politicians they occupy these lands.
What happened to trespassers will be shot, survivors will be shot again. Or those people found forests there. They cleared it to pave way for erosion. Rather than give them audience, why not they restore the land to the status it was in before there occupation preferably in monetary terms.
