President William Ruto has ordered the eviction of grabbers of government land belonging to Kenya Prisons in Kitale, Trans Nzoia County.

Speaking during his tour of the newly constructed Masinde Muliro Market on Wednesday, he revealed that some cartels have grabbed the land, thus scuttling plans to relocate the prison located in Kitale.
