Nearly 96 per cent of the illegal settlers in Maasai Mau have left the forest following the lapse of the 30-day eviction notice by the State, Cabinet Secretary for Environment Keriako Tobiko has said.

Speaking to the press during a multi-government agency tree planting exercise at Sierra Leone in the Maasai Mau Forest, the CS said that those remaining are on their way out.
