What you need to know:

  • A security team from Kuresoi South Sub-County ordered them to pack their belongings and return to their original homes.
  • Children, some as young as one year, pregnant mothers and the elderly, hurriedly left the temporary camp.
  • Mr Janet Langat said many children at the camp are sick due to harsh weather conditions.

More than 1,000 families who left Maasai Mau Forest have been ordered to vacate private land in Chepakundi where they have been camping on the border of Nakuru and Narok counties.

They have now vowed to trek to Molo town, more than 70 kilometres away, to set up another camp.
