Settlers occupying 67,500 acres of land excised from the Mau Forest Complex have asked the State to lift a ban on land transactions in the 22 settlement schemes.

In a meeting held in Nakuru at the weekend and attended by representatives from at least 11 settlements schemes, they said the caveat imposed on their parcels of land in 2013 to date has created uncertainty over ownership of land and is responsible for hostility among communities living in the schemes.
