In few weeks time, over 10,000 families are set to vacate Mau forest, in Narok South constituency, a move that is already causing cracks within Jubilee administration.
President Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto, will have difficult time in defending the latest government directive, given that the opposed the evictions before forming government.
Rift Valley Regional Coordinator George Natembeya and Environment Cabinet Secretary Keriako Tobiko, have already confirmed plans to kick out the families.
“We are ready for the second phase of the eviction. We have deployed sufficient personnel on the ground to carry out the eviction,” he said.
Natembeya was, however, quick to clarify that the number of people to be affected in the evictions is "only 10,000 and not 60,000 as earlier claimed".
But in a fundraiser at Nairobi in 2009, a rejuvenated President Uhuru Kenyatta, then Deputy Prime Minister, accused government of kicking out Kenyans from the forest.
Mr Raila Odinga and President Mwai Kibaki had started the evictions, with Raila insisting that he was ready to pay a political price, which he after all paid for.
In his speech, Uhuru insisted that it was needless to make children squatters, adding that there are some people who had tried to gag him from attending the fundraiser.
"There are many who are saying that it's improper for Uhuru to attend the Harambee yet our people (Kikuyu) are still in IDP camps yet I am also aware. These who are leaving to protect the future, must be protected for today," he said.
A decade later, Uhuru's government is in the process of kicking people from Mau, actions which the president opposed vehemently 10 years ago.
Over 3,000 children risk missing national exams in October as the government plans to go ahead with the exercise. The government claims that 15 schools in Mau forest are illegal.
