hello i'm christine want to welcome to news africa it's good to have you along office stories today is playing out in kenya on land that was historically home to the indigenous people and i hope i have thought for a 2nd because last year kenya's president a little kenyatta announced plans to move the country to 100 percent of green energy by 2020 yes that's next year and it's plausible because at the time of the announcement 70 percent of the nation's installed electricity capacity already came from renewable energy sources now to meet its 2020 targets kenya has to expand its existing geothermal power project and that's where the messiah come in. they've

been forcibly evicted from their land in the past for this project they now fear more evictions. it deep inside hell's gate national park kenya as green revolution is brewing literally here in the rift valley kenya's energy generating giant kendra operates 5 geothermal power plants they convert steam generated from hot rocks deep underground into electricity. before can join came this was the home of the messiah their cattle is now all that's left here. daniel all ashar is one of the original inhabitants he was relegated by canton and now lives in the house provided by the company 16 kilometers away plus one east where not a lot keep the outlets the care for these also. broke there are a wire there the relationship between. the man and the livestock we're not

we're not. civilized people so we're just in the middle. of the middle of not. keeping cattle is the least of jane sick convoys worries she too was displaced her husband a messiah died before the resettlement took place the widow did not get a new house because she's not messiah herself without access to water or electricity succumb or no struggles to get by. but i depend on my neighbors when they get something they share if i was given my own house i would be empowered now i am destitute they didn't give me anything. because. of course many of the messiahs i've talked to recognize that climate change is an

issue that needs to be addressed in fact many of them feel the effects of climate change and global warming in their daily lives already but 9 plans such as this one you see behind me still need to be built in the region and for the most size the price of kenya's green energy transition is just too high to pay. inside the park only if you must so villagers remain. on which this community has been singled out for prospective drilling the villagers were almost forgotten in the past this villager says he lives in fear he wishes to remain anonymous of course we're still under threat a company still interested in the sound we sense that in future they will evict us we remain determined that we will not be moved from our ancestral land. ken jenne was unavailable for comment on the resettlement plan the messiah of health remain.

communities like the messiah can the government do both realistically of full force the government can do for i mean if they gave you a reason why and if he in fact. you know if you were to sit here and you seeking good renewables and its solution. and if you are just. you have to pick you must of it is for that certain coming to the edge of the fog and feel exactly the week's brings up the end of creating a situation that gains for the good in sports which for hundreds of insults 'd. the lights. for example can do folks inside. of all region of the us all of a slug. for health. care is concerned
