A judge in Kericho has awarded an octogenarian 18.6 acres of land after he proved that he had bought it through a proxy in the 1970s.

Justice Mary Oundo of the Environment and Land Court ruled that Paul Keino, 82, paid for part of the 37 acres of land in Kapkures, Bomet County, through his cousin, Tapnyobii Maina, who is now deceased.
