A prominent family and a group of farmers are embroiled in a court battle over a prime piece of land measuring about 250 acres in Makuyu, Murang’a County.

The protracted land dispute pitting Margaret Nyokabi Mbugua and her five children against Ng’enda New Farmers society from Gatundu has gone on for more than two decades.
