An elected MP in Nyamira County has promised to fight land grabbers in the region.
Nyamira County Women representative Jerusha Momanyi while speaking on Saturday at Nyakwerema Catholic Church grounds said land grabbers targeting lands belonging to the church will have no room in her tenure.
"Land grabbers targeting church land should keep off or face the law. I am not going to allow any cartel to grab church land meant for the church to build churches for the residents to worship in,” she noted.
The Jubilee MP promised to work closely with all churches across the county to ensure no land is grabbed.
“Church leaders are free to visit my office and raise their concerns especially on land grabbers intending to grab church land.
"Throughout my tenure I will fight for the church and those who have grabbed church land are advised to surrender the lands before the law catches up with them,” she added.
She called on other local leaders to team up to flush out land grabbers from the county.
