The Naivasha sub-county's security team has raised the red flag over rising cases of land disputes.
According to the team, more than 90 per cent of disputes reported locally involved land sub-division and ownership.
This came barely two days after a committee was selected to investigate the sub-division of the vast Ng’ati farm and sale of a section of the land to KenGen for geothermal drilling.
According to Naivasha sub-county commissioner Jim Njoka, the land disputes were a hindrance to many development projects.

Mr Njoka noted that some of the disputes dated back to the 1980s.
He said failure to resolve them raised unnecessary tension.
