Tension is high in the volatile area of Maella Naivasha after APs evicted several families from a piece of land. The heavily armed officers raided Ngambani village destroying property worth thousand of shillings.
Maize crops were destroyed during the early morning eviction supervised by senior AP officers. The officers said the land in question had been set aside for the construction of an AP post. Families affected threatened to hold a demonstration and called on Lands minister James Orengo to intervene as the issue has raised anxiety in the area.
