MPs to decide on regularising over 6,700 hectares of forest settlements
Barasa’s request covers 989.17 hectares of South Nandi Forest, 1,241 hectares of Turbo Forest, 4,647 hectares of Mt Elgon Forest, and 130.99 hectares within Kakamega Forest, split between Shiru and Shaviringa. These areas have been occupied since the 1980s by communities whose presence has not yet been legally regularised.
