The Government wishes to clarify that arising from a meeting between H.E. President Mwai Kibaki with Hons. Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance Hon. Uhuru Kenyatta, Minister for Agriculture, Hon. William Ruto and Minister for Lands, Hon. James Orengo, the Government has allocated 1 billion Kenyan shillings for the purchase of land to resettle two groups that have stopped occupying state forests.
The two groups are 2,800 people from Mau forest and 2,900 people from Cherangany Hills forests. This allocation is in keeping with the Government policy of resettling citizens who have had to leave their homes and are living in despicable conditions.
