Waitiki now surrenders 930-acre farm to State

Controversial land owner Evanson Waitiki announced at a public rally Wednesday that he had surrendered his 930-acre farm to the Government for settlement of squatters, ending nearly 20 years of a protracted court battle for the prime property.

Mr Waitiki and his wife Bertha Wanjiru Kamau were with outgoing acting Lands Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i at Shika Adabu Primary School grounds where the couple confirmed having willingly surrendered their land.
