35 families of colonial chief to share out Sh146 million

The Environmental and Land Court in Nyeri has ruled that only 35 households of the late Chief Wambugu Mathangani are entitled to the Sh146 million given as compensation by the national government.

The long-awaited ruling came after a protracted dispute pitting the heirs of the 55-acre parcel, which was owned by the late chief in the outskirts of Nyeri town now known as Wambugu Farmers Training Centre.
