The National Assembly Environmental Committee led by Maara MP Kareke Mbiuki will on Friday make a fact-finding visit to the Eastern Mau. This comes months after the government formed a multi-agency team to help save the tower from incessant encroachment. The government in August formed a multi-agency team to save the Mau Forest and end recurrent ethnic clashes and evictions in the area. The team seeks to resolve the Eastern Mau land problem that has resulted in evictions, deaths, destruction of property, ethnic clashes and displacement of thousands of families. The team has already started it's work and is expected to create clear boundaries between settlement schemes and the forestland.
