Elders from the Embu community are pointing an accusing finger at politicians for the unending land tussle at the controversial Mwea settlement scheme.
They say the issues have remained unresolved since 1968 and have caused tension and uprising between community members.
The elders, who recently wrote to President Uhuru Kenyatta for his intervention, have now taken it upon themselves to discuss the issue and conclude it before the 2022 General Election.
