Battle over ownership of 148,263 acres of land in Kwale County took a new twist yesterday after the High Court permitted more residents to apply to be enjoined in the suit.

Efforts by petitioners’ lawyer, Kinyua Kamudi, to have the latest application dismissed to allow the case to proceed was rejected by Justice Charles Yano.
