The National Land Commission held new hearings about old land problems with people from Mombasa and Bungoma counties at its main office. Professor James Tuitoek led these meetings, during which people shared stories about unfair land deals from many years ago. Some landowners never showed up despite many notices sent to them since 2023. The Shikeli family has two more weeks to bring all their papers for the case.

Groups from the coast have joined several earlier meetings at Bandari College. These include folks from Swahili Village, Mwembe Kuku, Kiziwi, Kisauni, Nyali, and Freetown. The Commission will make a final decision on May 27 about absent landlords who keep ignoring calls to attend. The Bungomek people also came to tell how they lost their homes during tribal fights in 1992. They had to sell land and animals for very little money to live.

The Commission wants to hear every side before making any decisions about the Mt. Elgon area land disputes. This ensures that all groups feel heard and treated fairly.
