Encroachment

The Kenya Forest Service has demolished a two-roomed iron sheet structure built illegally inside Makutani Forest in Baringo County, as part of efforts to curb encroachments on public forest land. The operation took place on Saturday, January 3, 2026, and is seen as a measure to prevent attempts to seize the gazetted forest. KFS has refuted claims that the structure was an operational school for the local community.
