NAIROBI, KENYA: The Government multi-agency team tasked with the resettlement and boundary survey of the Eastern Mau Forest block has conducted a community sensitisation meeting in Nessuit location centred on articulating the ongoing titling process.
The exercise was led by Special Deputy County Commissioner Donald Mwiwawi (Chairperson) and KFS Head of Survey and Mapping Evans Kegode. The main aim of the Baraza was to inform the community on the current phase of the survey process and the status of the exercise hence ensuring public participation.

The process to fence the vast Maasai Mau forest has started after the government awarded a contract to Top Choice Surveillance Limited.
The forest, which is part of the Mau water tower, is being rehabilitated after the State evicted thousands of squatters who had encroached on the land.
On Tuesday, the Kenya Water Towers said the electric fence would play a big role in ensuring that tree seedlings planted on the reclaimed land help increase the country s forest cover.
