Win for Ûtheri wa Lari Society as court orders eviction of land grabbers in Naivasha
A judge in Nakuru, Kenya, has ruled in favor of the Ûtheri wa Lari Society and ordered the eviction of land grabbers who had taken over 20,000 hectares of the society’s land in Maì Mahiu, Naivasha Constituency.
Judge Mwangi Njoroge gave the land grabbers 30 days to vacate the property, threatening forced eviction if they failed to comply.
Members of the society, led by Chairman Stephen Muiru, celebrated the ruling and stated their readiness to return to their land, which they had inhabited from 1988 until being forcefully evited during 1992 clashes.
One of the victims of the 1992 conflict, Mirriam Mwihaki, called for the judiciary to prevent any further appeals from those claiming to be the true owners of the land.
At a meeting attended by over 8,000 members of the society, Naivasha Constituency legislature Jane Kihara discussed the impact of the 1992 eviction on the area’s development and economy.
The eviction left two people dead and caused many members to abandon the area.
Kihara called upon the Interior Cabinet Secretary to enforce the judge’s ruling and restore the society’s land to its rightful owners.
