Serikali has to take cautios measures this time when evicting people from
Mau. During last eviction, a lot of suffering was encountered such as
chilren missing education becaue their school was burnt, the affected
losing their properties like food, houses when their homes were
destroyed,above all their lands were taken by the government.
The Mau People as I know most of them had small farms sold at their their
original mohterlands and went purchasing farms in Mau because the cost of
selling them was cheaper. That made many of them at least get an average of
5 acres.
I bought a farm in Mau in 1993 from a certain Okyot which costed me Ks.
12,000 per acre. I acquired almost 70 acres. Most of the farm now is thrown
into what we are calling "Chemi Chemi". I only remained with 12 acres
which was out of forest demarceted boundary line.
The government issued titile deeds for these farms, registered schools and
have been examining pupils within the "forest area", has provincial
administration (chiefs) within the same place.
Environmental protection is ok. People are also part of environment? What
is causing conflicts now in Kenya especially during the election period?
For me one major factor is land/resources. The government is to blame for
this. Why do we have grabbed lands by the goons whic is supposed to be used
for settling people and the govt is quiet?
If people are part of the environment let us also think of the future
impact of just chasing them away from Mau without giving an alternative.
With my investment of over 7 years do you think I will forget it in my life
time?
Our Prime Minister, you have visited that place, what your heart telling
you about the future of those children who saw thier beatiful homes burnt
to ashes and living now in total poverty. If one of them becomes a leader
of the cntry tomorrow what will happen?
Finally, govt. knows those brokers and sellers of the Mau forest we are not
seeing any legal action taken against them. This anohter "Golden-Anglo-
Leasing Scheme"
