Residents of Shamba Rungu in Bararget, Kuresoi South have dared Jubilee government to evict them without plans for resettlement and be ready to face their full wrath. Speaking to Journalists in Kiptulwo on Friday, the residents said an eviction notice has been served but they vow to stay put until the government shows them where next to settle. They also reach out to the area Mp, Hon Zk Cheruiyot to help them.
“We were evicted from Lari, some of us were evicted from Laikipia and some from Kap Moronjo. Our names were put in government’s records for compensation plan however up to date, we are yet to be paid. We struggled and got our little money enough to buy lands in Shamba Rungu. It is unfortunate that the same influential people who sold us lands are the same people in the forefront pushing for our eviction,” they said.
