By BARNABAS BIIMore by this AuthorThe boundary dispute among four counties that form the Lake Region Economic Bloc (LREB) in Western Kenya will take longer than expected to resolve. This is the case as the National Lands Commission (NLC) has recommended that the Independent County Boundaries Commission be established to deal with the issue. BOUNDARY BILLThe County Boundary Bill seeks to define the boundaries of the counties through establishment of County Boundaries Mediation Committee. PEACE TALKSThe boundary disputes involve Nandi, Kisumu, Kericho and Vihiga counties. Vihiga County is claiming part of land in Kisumu County occupied by Maseno University while Kericho County wants to reclaim part of the land it alleges was halved to Kisumu County during colonial era.
