"I am not against forest conservation but against what the government is doing to families, to innocent children who are not born in Mau. The government can not evict people without showing them where to go, "said Ndile.

While he was addressing a reporter on Tuesday, the former Kibwezi MP added that the president had not honored the promise of affordable shelter. Kenyans by allowing deportations to continue.

"We are shocked to see that President Uhuru Kenyatta has remained silent while the people who were staying in Mau's forests are being expelled from the land without any other choice. President Uhuru Kenyatta's term in the government because, during his first term, the president did not allow deportation, we do not want to create another IDP camp because we have already one of the post-election violence of 2007, "said Ndile.

Ndile added that the government should compensate frustrated victims of evacuation by questioning why the president does not want to resettle families as he did to squatters at the Waitiki Farm in Mombasa.

The legislature has also warned President Uhuru to be cursed if he will make the expellee victims of the Mau Forest homeless.

"If poor families stay homeless and suffer even when you keep the forest, then Uhuru will live under a curse throughout his life in retirement," he said.

He also warned of the security threat in the country due to evictions indicating that most squatters will join terrorist groups due to lack of better means.
