Currently, mo ;t of the road is seriously deteriorated with some sections virtually at the p int of collapse. This has beer compounded by the lack/untimely maintenance. The Northern Corridor Road Improvement Project proposes to address the iss jes of this section. This will be jointly funded by the Kenya Government and Int !rnational Devellopment Agenc y (IDA). The project will go along way in achieving and facilitating economic recc very in an effort to alleviate poverty. The objective of the study is to identify significar t environmental and social irn l)acts of the proposed project and the necessary mitigz tion measures. II Description of the Project The Mau Summit-Kericho-Kisumu section of the oad B8 and Al comprise the 'roject area covering about 140km. The project runs in 3 south westerly direction frorri Mau Summit Centre at the junction of road A104 and Bi towards Kericho, then in a north westerly direction to Awasi and to the junction o: roads Al and 1B1 in Ahero ard finally to Kisumu (see location map of project ro; id in Appendix 1) III Baseline Information The Road Project traverses through four district of Rift Valley and Nyanza Pr 'vinces namely Nakuru, Kericho and Nyando, Kisumu re ;pectively. The main annual rainfall in these districts varies with rainfall shiarply declininc with altitude along the west Mau escarpment toward:; Kisumu. The terrain is rollinc and sloping gradually towards Lake Victoria to the w ?st. The soil and rocks in the environs range from ri :h volcano soils, igneous and metamorphic rocks in Nakuru, black cotton soil n Kericho and granite rocks ir' Nyando and Kisumu. The forests along the project road regulate the *ydrological regimes over mo!:t the road. The natural vegetation comprises of a mi> ture of montane forest with dominant tree species such as Podocarpus grac lior, Juniperus procera, Crotoir macrostachys and Acacia woodlands. Some exo :ic tree such as pinus patula, Eucalyptus Saligna and others are found in neai by plantations on the roadsidi'. The main land uses within the road reserve include forest conservation, tea growing, livestock keeping, and crop production (maize, )otatoes, vegetables, sorghuri', and sugarcane) from Mau Summit to Kisumu.

    CHAPTER ONE TRIBAL CLASHES IN THE RIFT VALLEY PROVINCE Tribal clashes in the Rift Valley Province started on 29th October, 1991, at a farm known as Miteitei, situated in the heart of Tinderet Division, in Nandi District, pitting the Nandi, a Kalenjin tribe, against the Kikuyu, the Kamba, the Luhya, the Kisii, and the Luo. The clashes quickly spread to other farms in the area, among them, Owiro, farm which was wholly occupied by the Luo; and into Kipkelion Division of Kericho District, which had a multi-ethnic composition of people, among them the Kalenjin, the Kisii and the Kikuyu. Later in early 1992, the clashes spread to Molo, Olenguruone, Londiani, and other parts of Kericho, Trans Nzoia, Uasin Gishu and many other parts of the Rift Valley Province. In 1993, the clashes spread to Enoosupukia, Naivasha and parts of Narok, and the Trans Mara Districts which together then formed the greater Narok before the Trans Mara District was hived out of it, and to Gucha District in Nyanza Province. In these areas, the Kipsigis and the Maasai, were pitted against the Kikuyu, the Kisii, the Kamba and the Luhya, among other tribes. The clashes revived in Laikipia and Njoro in 1998, pitting the Samburu and the Pokot against the Kikuyu in Laikipia, and the Kalenjin mainly against the Kikuyu in Njoro. In each clash area, non-Kalenjin or non-Maasai, as the case may be, were suddenly attacked, their houses set on fire, their properties looted and in certain instances, some of them were either killed or severely injured with traditional weapons like bows and arrows, spears, pangas, swords and clubs.
