Landowners settled in a disputed 25,000-acre farm in Kapseret, Uasin Gishu County are living in fear following a landmark ruling that gave ownership to Sirikwa squatters.
By Monday, as the squatters moved into parts of the expanded farm, there was fear. A section of those who have already settled urged the court to explain the fate of all those who bought the land that formerly belonged to the East African Tanning and Extract Company (EATEC).
Some of the squatters had moved in with their livestock. They have also set up an office on the farm that belonged to former nominated MP Mark Too, now deceased.
