Situation as UDA Senator currently leading thousands of Trans Nzoia County residents to protest move by Ruto’s government to evict people to provide space for Affordable Housing programme.
The demolitions which were carried out under the supervision of the police left a trail of destruction rendering over 100,000 people homeless, according to the county Senator Allan Chesang, who is a close ally of Ruto.
While commenting on the matter, the youthful senator faulted both the County and National governments for not providing alternative land for the affected people.
The United Democratic Alliance (UDA) legislator argued the government should have prioritised compensating the victims before forcefully evicting them.
To repair the damage, he advised the government to enter into a deal with the residents who were willing to negotiate as the demolition of properties, posed a potential crisis and displacement for his people
“I want to plead with the government on behalf of Trans-Nzoia people living in government land. It is painful that the government that the people of Trans Nzoia County voted in are chasing them from their land. These are people that bought land from other people,” grieved Senator Allan Chesang.
“The government has brought an army that has never been seen in this area. These soldiers are marking the beacons and chasing away the residents. It is against my wish,” Chesang lamented.
