Wekesa on Mau

Forest and Wildlife Minister Noah Wekesa has accused a section of Rift Valley MPs inciting Mau forest evictees to stay put at the road side until alternative land is found.

Wekesa says efforts to save the Mau complex should not be politicized adding that it is unfortunate that a section of the cabinet is publicly going against a government directive.

Wekesa said the evictions will go on and that the government will cater for transport for the squatters.


His sentiments come a day after a section of Rift Valley Mps led by Agriculture Minister William Rutto accused the government of intimidating their community.

The Mps said that should the government fail to compensate the evictees then they would lead them back to the forest.
