The Ogiek community, evicted from Mau Forest in 2009, has formally petitioned the National Lands Commission (NLC) to begin verification of a land compensation register for affected individuals.

• The community submitted a comprehensive register of individuals displaced during the 2009 South West Mau Forest evictions, following a July 27, 2018, court ruling.
• Key organizations involved include the Ogiek Independent Council of South West Mau Forest and the National Lands Commission (NLC).
• The Environment and Land Court (ELC) at Kericho had ordered the NLC to compile a register of victims and identify alternative land, recognizing the evictions violated the community’s fundamental rights.
