The Standard | Online Edition :: Time up for land grabbers and encroachers: "The government intends to evacuate 17 wetlands, hilltops and water catchment areas encroached by human settlement and private developers.
But no time frame was given when the government issued the decree On Wednesday in parliament.
The last mass evacuation of illegal settlers from the Mau water catchment sparked an outcry from a section of Kalenjin MPs who accused the government of victimising their people but an assistant minister now says the new constitution enhances the government's hand to reclaim forests, wetlands, swamps and other water catchment areas in public interest."
