What you need to know:
Lendikinya and Arkaria villages in Sepeko ward were registered in 2005 but it has since emerged that their border lines extended into Lendikinya Forest Reserve which was gazetted way back in 1971.
The protected area, which is under the district council, is currently threatened after it was invaded by over 200 people who have since 1996 established their permanent settlements there.
