Three senior government officers summoned to update the court on implementation of a judgment concerning settlement schemes in Eastern Mau have failed to honour the directive.

Lands PS Nixon Korir, his Interior counterpart Raymond Omollo and the Director of Land Adjudication and Settlement were expected before the Environment and Land Court in Nakuru to explain progress made in implementing a judgment delivered more than a year ago.
