Oscar Sudi summoned over alleged grabbing of land in Uasin Gishu

Kapseret Member of Parliament Oscar Sudi has been summoned by The National Assembly Committee on Lands over alleged grabbing of over 1500 acres of land.

The expansive land in question belongs squatters in Kesses, Uasin Gishu County.

Speaking after a fact-finding mission in which area MP Oscar Sudi’s name was adversely mentioned, National Assembly Committee on Lands chairperson Joash Nyamoko said they have instructed their clerks to summon the area MP.

Nyamoko noted that Sudi was adversely mentioned by the squatters over the alleged grabbing of the land in question and his appearance before the committee will be key in unravelling the truth.

The land in question is also claimed by Moi University that has been farming on the land.

The North Mugirango MP revealed that Moi University had been instructed to halt any farming activities on the disputed piece of land until the matter is resolved.
