More than 3,000 families who were evicted from former Soroson, Smith, and Parkinis farms, which cover over 10,000 acres in Trans Nzoia County, have appealed to the government to revoke a Kenya Gazette notice published on August 25, 1978.

The families argue that the gazettement was politically motivated and unjustly deprived them of land they had legally acquired.
