Environment and Forestry Cabinet Secretary (CS) Keriako Tobiko is facing fierce criticism over the planned eviction of squatters from the Mau Forest.
Belgut MP Nelson Koech has poked holes into Tobiko's career, terming him a loser and non-performer.
He noted that the CS could not even prosecute a fly when he was the DPP but now he pretends to be a performer.
Koech also said that the planned eviction of over 6000 people from the Mau forest is heading nowhere. He affirmed that as leaders from the region, they will not sit back and watch residents evicted for no reason when the government is in place to protect them.
“Keriako Tobiko is an idiot. A loser who couldn’t even prosecute a fly when he was a DPP. Now he wants to flex his muscles on innocent children.
"On innocent expectant mothers who are living in the Mau. On vulnerable people who are staying in the Mau and purporting to evict them. I tell him today, we are not going anywhere and he must listen right,” he said in part.
He also said that the demolition of 15 schools in the forest is an exercise in futility while terming it unlawful and uncalled for. His remarks were backed by Kericho Senator Aaron Cheruyoit.
