Members of the Sengwer community in Elgeyo Marakwet yesterday said they have nothing to celebrate as the country celebrated 57 years of independence.
It has been a trying year for the community following a failed quest to have Embobut Forest declared as its ancestral land, the eviction of members from the forest, and a standoff with the Government over billions of shillings to conserve the Cherangany and Mt Elgon water towers.
