Nakuru squatters reopen 38-year fight over forest land Nakuru 15 min ago

The Senate received a similar petition in December 2019 from Dundori Forest residents, who said they had lived there from 1930 until their forceful eviction and alleged that people not recorded as evictees benefited from land excised for resettlement.

In a petition to the National Land Commission, Nakuru squatters claim that over 10,000 people were forcibly evicted in 1988, and that the land earmarked by the government for their resettlement was given to other recipients.

A fresh petition to the National Land Commission (NLC) has reopened a 38-year-old dispute involving 10,000 squatters from Nakuru and revived questions over 200 acres set aside for their resettlement.
