President William Ruto now says he has fulfilled all political pledges he made to the Maa community ahead of the 2022 General Election.
Ruto on Saturday said that his Kenya Kwanza regime has made a lot of progress in resolving historical land injustices and ensuring communities, including the Maa, receive what rightfully belongs to them.
While citing resolution of long-standing land grievances and investments in infrastructure, healthcare, education and housing, Ruto said he has fulfilled his commitment on Kedong Ranch in Narok, where residents are now settled on 10,000 acres.
Ruto spoke during the closing ceremony of the Maa Cultural and Tourism Festival at Sekenani Gate in the Masai Mara Game Reserve, Narok County.
He said the Marmar Ranch in Samburu has been reverted to the county government and will be subdivided and given to the people.
According to President Ruto, his UDA government has so far honoured its commitment to address longstanding concerns over Maasai Mau Forest ownership, with a title deed issued to Narok County.
He said fencing is currently underway to establish clear boundaries between the forest and neighbouring settlements.
“We have given the title deed to the county government, and we are fencing off the forest to protect it from encroachment,”
