The East African Court of Justice (EACJ) has started hearing a case in which Kericho Governor Paul Chepkwony has sued the government of Kenya over eviction of residents from Mau Forest.
The case, which was filed in 2018 by Prof Chepkwony at the Arusha based court, wants the government of Kenya to compensate thousands of victims, whom he says were unlawfully evicted from their ancestral land.
