National Assembly Committee on Lands summons Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi over alleged grabbing of over 1,500 acres of land belonging to squatters in Kesses, Uasin Gishu County
National Assembly Committee on Lands summons Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi over alleged grabbing of over 1,500 acres of land belonging to squatters in Kesses, Uasin Gishu County.
Speaking while on a fact-finding mission at Ngeria Estate in Kesses, the committee led by Chairman Joash Nyamoko said they have instructed their clerks to summon the area MP after being adversely mentioned by squatters over the alleged grabbing of the land.
The committee also instructed the Moi University Vice Chancellor Prof. Isaac Kosgey to stop any farming activities in the land until the issue is resolved.
The visit was preceded by a deliberative session between all stakeholders including the squatters and the university management.
The squatters had written to the National Assembly earlier this year seeking the committee’s intervention after unknown trespassers allegedly invaded and begun tilling the contentious land in readiness for the 2024 planting season, amid a raging dispute.

Nyamoko said the committee would critically review the evidence adduced including additional documents presented by the university management backing its claim of ownership of the land, before drafting a final report for tabling in the House.
The North Mugirango MP further warned against any attempts to defy the committee directive suspending activities on the contentious land.
Prof. Kosgey led the Moi University team before the committee, while officials of Ngeria Estate Squatters also presented their case on claim to the land.
