Police officers in Narok County are facing accusations of contempt of court after allegedly supervising the ploughing of an 81-acre parcel of disputed land, despite a court order barring any activity on the property pending the resolution of an ownership case.

The incident occurred on Friday in Olchoro Division, Narok North Sub-county, where a group of ten police officers, accompanied by Narok Central Assistant County Commissioner (ACC) Abdishakurr Ali and Siyiabei Location Chief Molonget Sempele, reportedly provided security to one of the parties involved in the dispute as they began cultivating the land.
