Richard Esongori, 36, from Olmekenyu village in Narok South left his home in Kisii in 1994 to Mau where he settled on an eight-acre parcel of land and started a family.

Esongori, a father of five, claims he bought the land from one David Sulunye at a cost of Sh130,000 per acre then, however not even a single document was given to him to show ownership.
