Victims of the 2007/2008 post-election violence continue to occupy a portion of a disputed 755-acre parcel of land in Nakuru County despite court decision that the land was irregularly acquired to settle them.

The land claimed by eight sisters, their sister-in-law and a niece was acquired by the government under the Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) resettlement programme for the violence victims, after the State purchased the land from the family of Benjamin Wamanji Njoroge (deceased) in 2011.
