National Assembly Speaker Moses Wetang’ula (pictured), has called on Trans Nzoia residents to remain calm as the government works to resolve the Kitale Prison land row.

Speaking on Saturday at the Kitale Club, during a consultative meeting with representatives of families facing potential eviction from the disputed land, Wetang’ula said the government will observe the law in settling the matter, adding that those with proper documentation have no reason to be jittery, as no one will push them out of their legally-owned parcels.

Hinting that those without proper documentation may be required to vacate, Wetang’ula said the process will be carried out “soberly and with civility.”
