Over 3,300 people evicted from the Maasai Mau Forest in November 2019 will stay out of the disputed land until a case they filed in court is determined. 

Yesterday, a three-judge bench sitting in Nakuru declined to issue conservatory orders sought by the families to compel the government to allow them to stay in the forest.
