  • He said President Uhuru Kenyatta had directed that the team complete its mandate by December 12.
  • Dr Matiang'i said he will, together with his colleagues, be making impromptu visits to assess the progress.
  • Dozens of people have been killed and others maimed due to the protracted land dispute.

The burden of resolving a 20-year land conflict in Eastern Mau pitting three communities now lies in the hands of a special multi-agency task force.  

Announcing the new measures aimed at ending the perennial bloody conflicts after a three-hour-long meeting in a Naivasha hotel on Monday, Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i said the team has 11 weeks to complete its work.
