Governor Paul Chepkwony has said the planned Mau eviction should be stopped until an ongoing case filed by settlers is heard and determined.

Chepkwony yesterday drew the attention of Cabinet Secretary Keriako Tobiko to a suit filed at the East African Court of Justice, where Mau forest title deed holders want the Government to stop the second phase of the eviction.
