President William Ruto’s directive to settle 2007/2008 post-election violence victims on a 755-acre parcel in Nakuru has suffered a new setback after the Environment and Land Court halted any dealings on the land.

Justice Antony Ombwayo ordered that the status quo be maintained on the 755-acre Ndonga Farm in Subukia pending ongoing negotiations between the government and the family of the late Benjamin Wamanji, the registered owner of the land.
