I cannot possibly advocate for anyone to live inside a forest, but when you hear me say those people have not invaded the forest, it is not politics because I know what I am saying. I hope the President will respond to our cries because I stood there on 27th July, 2017, with none other than President Uhuru Kenyatta and we promised those people that eventually we will provide a solution to the issue of the Mau Forest. However, up to date, I have not heard his voice; I want to hear his voice. I want to know whether what Cabinet Secretary Tobiko and the Regional Commissioner, Mr. Natembeya, are doing is sanctioned by him. It is a shame and it really bothers us. Anyway, a time will come when we shall know the truth about this particular issue."}
