The Eldoret land row involving the KDF and squatters has persisted with an ODM official for Uasin Gishu accusing unnamed leaders of having ulterior motives.
KDF wants the 2,000-acre property vacated for military training activities but more than 700 squatter families want it allocated to them.
Most of the land is used by the KDF Moi Barracks Recruits Training College (RTC) and the Kenya Ordnance Factory. Stray bullets from the area have injured several people.
Uasin Gishu Governor Jackson Mandago has also asked the government to use 500 acres for setting up an Industrial Park for the county.
At a meeting with squatters on Sunday, county ODM chairman David Songok asked the state for a quick solution as some leaders are acting "as if the land is their personal property".
“They come here promising they will dish out the land to squatters yet their interests are different. They do not care about the plight of the families," Songok said.
“The families have lived as squatters on the land for more than three decades. The government should speed up the process of dealing with matters concerning the land in dispute."
He said the Jubilee government had failed in its mandate to tackle issues affecting Kenyans on land and other development programmes.
On June 14, last year, NLC chairman Muhamed Swazuri visited the area and asked those claiming ownership to produce documents so the dispute can be resolved.
Two groups - the Leseru-Tebeson squatters and the Leseru-Kiplombe - have laid claim to the land.
The Leseru-Kiplombe group reportedly gave their documents to Swazuri, but the National Land Commission has issued no fresh communication on the issue.
This comes amid the need for all the 7,807 beneficiaries of the controversial 930-acre Waitiki farm in Likoni to as directed by the President.
President Uhuru Kenyatta maintained this position despite protest by local leaders and residents who wanted the government to waive the fee.
“I have to tell you the truth and not politick around this matter. The government spent money from the Settlement Trust Fund kitty to pay Waitiki. This money has to be returned,” he said.
The money, which will carter for the purchasing, survey and planning costs of the land will be paid over a period of three years.
