dc.description.abstractThe aim of this study was to examine methods employed by the Sabaot land defence force to stake their claims over land in Mt. Elgon and methods used by the KDF to quell the insurgence. This research was conducted in Mount Elgon Sub County in Kapsokwony, Kaptama, Kopsiro, and Cheptais. This research utilized primary as well as secondary sources of data. Secondary data was procured from Kenyatta University Library, among other libraries. Primary data was collected from the Kenya National Archives as well as from oral sources through interviewing the identified respondents in the field. Data instruments that were used include questionnaires and question guides. The procedures employed in collecting primary data included indepth interviews and Focus Group Discussions. The primary oral data was analyzed by first translating oral interviews from the Sabaot language to English, grouping data according to the objectives, and verifying any possible contradicting information. After that, the data was corroborated with archival and secondary data and then presented through descriptive narratives. This study concluded that most of the methods used required the use of force or ruthless measures against the locals. The locals were subjected to torture, and at times, most people lost their lives in the process. The study recommends that the government should assure the displaced persons of maximum security, and the security agents shall not harass innocent civilians once peace is restored.en_US
