The construction of a law court in Marigat, Baringo County has been delayed by questions on the ownership of the land earmarked for its establishment. This emerged after the county government wrote to the Judiciary and disclosed that the land had been allocated to Baringo Central MP Sammy Mwaita.
“It has come to our attention as the Lands department that the said parcel is disputed. The parcel was given to one Sammy Mwaita way back in 1998 and he has all the ownership documents,” reads part of the one-page letter signed by Edwin Riamangura, the CEC in charge of Lands, Housing and Urban Development.
