Ruto Hands Over Controversial Kedong Land & Mau Forest in Historic Move!

President William Ruto has made a shock announcement — the Maasai community in Narok is getting back a massive chunk of the heavily contested Kedong Ranch land, ending decades of bitter protests, court battles, and bloody clashes.
Speaking in Suswa, Narok County on Tuesday, the Head of State pulled a stunning political move, declaring that the government is releasing an extra 6,000 acres to the locals — on top of the previously allocated 4,000 acres — in a region housing key installations like the Naivasha Inland Dry Port.
“You asked for it, and I’ve heard you loud and clear. The government is handing you more land — 6,000 acres more. This is your land!” Ruto thundered.
But that’s not all — in another explosive promise, Ruto vowed to deliver title deeds to the landowners within just one week! Yes, ONE WEEK!

“The moment I get the names of the beneficiaries, I’m delivering those title deeds in seven days flat,” he declared, to roaring cheers.
And just when the crowd thought the surprises were over, Ruto dropped another political bomb — the infamous Mau Forest, a hotspot of land wrangles, has now officially been handed over to the Narok County Government.
Clutching the forest’s title deed in his hand, Ruto announced that the move would silence the endless disputes that have haunted the forest for generations — a region where lives have been lost and communities torn apart.
“Today, I’ve brought the Mau Forest title deed with me. It belongs to the people of Narok now. No more battles, no more confusion,” he stated firmly.
To tighten security and protect this vital ecosystem, Ruto confirmed that funding is already in place for a massive fencing project, starting with 100 kilometers of perimeter fencing to keep invaders at bay.
“We’re putting up a serious fence. No one will sneak into Mau Forest again. It’s protected — for Narok, for Kenya,” Ruto warned.
In a powerful closing statement, Ruto made it clear — no one will be allowed back into the forest despite circulating rumors. His administration, he insisted, is done playing politics with the environment.
The Mau Forest, long marred by deadly conflicts, forced evictions, and unresolved boundary disputes, may finally be entering a new chapter — one of resolution, restoration, and firm governance.
