On October 3, David Cheruiyot told a multi-agency team identifying legitimate landowners in Eastern Mau that a mischievous monkey burned his land ownership documents. His land documents had gone up in smoke after the monkey set them on fire, Cheruiyot said. He revealed some retired land registrars were still signing land ownership documents and backdating them. The exercise has been slowed by lack of ownership documents and most resident said their documents were torched during communal clashes. The Eastern Mau forest block is one of the 22 forest blocks that form the Mau forest complex.
