The government is seeking donor assistance for the implementation of Phase two evictions of the Mau Forest.
While declaring success of the first phase involving those without title deeds, the government said everything was being done to move to the next stage of evictions involving those having legal documents.
Addressing a press briefing at the Treasury after a consultative meeting, Special Programmes minister, Naomi Shaaban, said the government was satisfied with the progress of evictions.
"We reviewed the relocation exercise and we were satisfied that so far, no forceful evictions have taken place," she said in a statement read on behalf of Prime Minister Raila Odinga and other Cabinet ministers.
Although the PM was present at the briefing, he declined to answer questions directed to him.
Earlier, in opening remarks, Mr Odinga said the inter-ministerial meeting was a consultative one on the Mau situation and that the Mau Secretariat headed by former Rift Valley provincial commissioner, Hassan Noor Hassan, had given its brief.

Dr Shaaban said the government has responded to the humanitarian needs of the evictees, citing over Sh12 million for food and non-food items.
"The meeting underscored the government's commitment to a humane relocation of families from the forest and will continue to do so," read the statement.
It added: "We also reviewed the plight of those who have left the forest, some of whom have ended up in makeshift camps on the edge of the forest while others have proceeded to their homes."
The Mau evictions have generated political controversy, pitting the PM and Rift Valley MPs led by Agriculture minister William Ruto who accuse him of using environmental conservation to persecute residents.
The MPs on Wednesday evening held a fundraiser at a Nairobi hotel for the victims who are camping along the edges of the forest.
The meeting was also attended by Noah Wekesa (Forestry and Wildlife), George Saitoti (Internal Security) and James Orengo (Lands), but who all left before the press briefing.
So far, 50,000 acres of forest land have been recovered and reforestation programme is on course, according to the statement. Also, a large tree nursery with over 300,000 seedlings has been established for replanting of Ndoinet areas of Mau.
