The council chairman Bishop Paul Leleito said the land on which the former evictees were settled in Lelaitich, Soin-Sigowet constituency had a title deed which the National Lands Commission should transfer to new owners.

The Government settled 800 evictees in the farm during its Mau Forest complex conservation programme.

"I know that the farm has a title deed which alongside other land agreements I personally handed over to former land Minister James Orengo," said Leleito.

In 2009 the government ordered up to 30,000 families to leave their homes at Mau Forest.
