Three months after t he Nakuru County Assembly Committee on Justice and Legal Affairs tabled its report on a petition regarding illegal allocation of lands at Chepakundi settlement scheme in Kuresoi North, more than 200 petitioners have called for the speedier implementation of the report.
Through their chairman, Francis Gakero Karanja, the petitioners have said that as per the committee recommendations, the Nakuru County Land control Board should embark on compiling of information on parcels of land acquired illegally at the height of the 1992 tribal clashes.
“This is the only way in which those who were displaced from their farms can realize justice after many years of suffering,” said Gakero.
“former powerful individuals in the Moi regime as well as some of the then provincial administrators were among beneficiaries of tracts of land belonging to victims of the 1992 clashes who fled from Chepakundi settlement scheme in Olenguruone Kuresoi,” added Gakero.
Top officers in the Nakuru County Government have also been implicated in the report.
It was the recommendation of the report that the National Land Commission reverts back the parcels of land in question to the rightful owners.
