However, the KFS has set tough conditions, sparking off protests from more than 700 saw millers in Rift Valley who oppose the new requirements. “The conditions set by KFS are just unrealistic and the saw millers cannot afford the same. We fear the conditions are meant to block the small scale saw millers and benefit certain individuals,” said Bundotich. Songok said the saw millers may be forced to go to court to demand a refund of the money paid to KFS. The saw millers said they had written to Environment CS Keriako Tobiko over the matter.
