Wiper Patriotic Front leader Kalonzo Musyoka has vowed to pursue legal action over the evictions of residents from Jipe/Mwakoshemi Village in Taita Taveta County. Musyoka, who visited the area on Saturday, August 29, 2026, claimed that more than 4,000 acres of land were at the center of the dispute and accused the government of forcibly removing residents from their homes.
He further stated that the evictions had resulted in hundreds of affected families living in tents and makeshift shelters, with limited access to food and water, and children unable to attend school. Musyoka has directed his matter to be raised in Parliament and his legal team to move to court to pursue those responsible and enforce existing court orders.
