A woman has succeeded in reversing a Sh 10 million deal that involved selling off a prime parcel of land with posh houses they jointly acquired with her estranged husband who claimed to have moved on with his other two wives.

The mother of four put up a spirited seven-year fight through a case filed on January 31, 2017, to convince the High Court in Bungoma to nullify the lucrative deal that could have seen her unceremoniously evicted from the property purportedly bought by National Government Affirmative Action Fund (NGAF) CEO Roy Sasaka Telewa.
