A police officer who has been embroiled in a bitter land dispute in Bungoma County for more than a decade has secured a major reprieve, after a county government official confirmed in court that the contested property belongs to the man who sold it to him.

The case centres on a plot of land, LR 1408/32, Malakisi Township, which has been at the heart of legal battles, counterclaims and even criminal charges stretching back to 2014.
