Families displaced by floods that killed 60 people in Mai Mahiu, Nakuru county, are languishing in misery despite promises by the government to resettle them.

The exercise has hit a snag because of differences over the value of land.

The victims and government officials had identified more than 120 acres of land, where 56 families displaced by the floods in April 2024 would be resettled.

Naivasha MP Jane Kihara said the owners of the land were selling an acre at Sh1.2 million, but the government officers had valued the land at Sh600,000.
