Mau Forest

[1] Typical tree species in the Mau Forest include Aningeria adolfi-friederici, Strombosia scheffleri, and Polyscias kikuyuensis.

[5] In 2008, the inauguration of the Sondu-Miriu hydro power plant was postponed due to low water levels, that are said to be resulting from the destruction of the Mau Forest.

In 2004 Paul Ndung’u released "Ndungu Report", which listed these land allocations, terming them illegal and recommended revocation of them.

Some politicians, led by Minister of Agriculture William Ruto, propose that if evictions are implemented, the government should allocate them land elsewhere.

Some prominent people are set to lose their land, including family members of former president Daniel arap Moi.
