An expansive prime parcel of land in Mlolongo is at the centre of a legal row that threatens to pull apart a prominent family in Machakos County.

The heirs to the patriarch’s estate are in courts battling it out for the control of an estate that was at one time estimated to be worth hundreds of millions of shillings.
