The Ogiek Community living in the Maasai-Mau water catchment area have faulted the mode of their eviction from the area, saying that, they, being forest conservers, are now unfairly targeted alongside the real destroyers of the forests.
The community’s members, residing in the Maasai-Mau Trust land, which they say is their native land, according to the provisions of section 70 of the Native Land Ordinance of 1938, say they have inhabited the area since 1933.
