More than 1000 families living in Marmanet forest in Laikipia County have vowed to go to court to block the government’s planned eviction order.

The affected families have protested an order by Environment Cabinet Secretary Keriako Tobiko to move out or be evicted forcibly, saying they have valid title deeds issued by the Government.
