• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: THAT, over 800 families were forcibly evicted from Vihiga, Sabatia and Hamisi sub- counties in Vihiga County and settled in Kipiri Forest in 1985 to pave way for the construction of present-day Vihiga County Headquarters, Vihiga County Hospital, Vihiga County Prison, Vihiga Regional Police Headquarters, Mbale Police Station, Moi Girls Vokoli Secondary School, Mudete Tea Factory, Sabatia Hospital and other office complexes for public utility. view

• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: THAT, the authorities undertook to degazette the land set aside from the forest area, conduct survey on it and finally issue title deeds to the relocated families who settled in Kipiri Forest as directed, started subsistence farming, built homes and planted trees in order to sustain their livelihoods. view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: THAT, failure by the authorities to compensate the families, conduct survey and issue title deeds as initially promised has led to constant harassment of families that are adjacent to the Kakamega Forest Reserve by forest officers who treat the relocated families as squatters and illegal settlers yet their relocation was a Government undertaking. view
• 2 Oct 2019 in National Assembly: THAT, the Rural Electrification Authority and the Kenya Power companies have erected electricity poles and transformers in the area occupied by the relocated families without seeking way leave nor providing compensation on the grounds that the relocated households do not have title deeds to the land they currently occupy. view
