The government’s efforts to resettle the families have been supported by a section of members of the Kitet-Sission community, who disowned protests by some of their kin, who claimed that the resettlement was illegal. The Kedong ranch has provided 4,000 acres where the community is to be settled. According to Mike Roka, the Kitet-Sission community secretary, some politicians from Narok and Kajiado were behind the demonstrations. “All the families displaced by construction of the dry port have agreed to be resettled on land provided by Kedong ranch.
