Chepchoina settlement in Trans Nzoia and West Pokot County want to file a case with the International Criminal Court against Kenya’s government for what they claim is inhumane and unlawful eviction from their land.

This is the land dispute that has dominated Kenyan courtrooms since last year’s standoff between Kenyan courts and Chepchiona group squatters, who evicted over 8000 residents.

His Excellency the Late President Arap Moi awarded the land, which was originally owned by an agricultural organization, to resettle squatters.
As details have emerged in Kitale town, the land and environment high court has set aside the squatters’ application for land ownership, accusing the government of frustrating their efforts.
The Chepchiona group of squatters have been tussling over the planned subdivision of market source acres of land today and have vowed to continue tussling as this land dispute proceeds to the International Court of Justice (ICC).
