Maasai keen to get back their land

It is unfortunate that acting Lands Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i threatened the Maasai during his recent fact-finding mission to Laikipia. He branded the Maasai illegal squatters and sought to sanitise the real land grabbers with irregularly acquired title deeds as land owners.

Knowing too well the background against which these land documents were acquired, Mr Matiang’i punctuated his hollow rhetoric with the line that the Government will defend the sanctity of the title deed.
