Government drops plan to resettle IDPs in Mau Narok

The government has shelved plan to resettle 8,000 IDPs in Mau Narok and has appealed for new land offers from public.

According to Internal security Minister, George Saitoti, the disputed land will now be used for agricultural research.

This action comes after members of the Maasai community opposed to the re-settlement of the IDPS at Mau Narok called on the Government to suspend activities in the farm to await the outcome of a 20- man committee set up to resolve the stalemate.
