The land was subdivided and allocated to the 6,000 beneficiaries by the defunct Kirinyaga County Council in 2009, a move that was instantly opposed by Nderi and his group. The matter remained unheard until in 2007, when Justice Isaac Lenaola issued a decree that an injunction to restrain the county council from compulsory acquisition of the land be enforced. The current settlers of the disputed land said they were surprised by the new turn of events. “We moved and settled on the land the council allocated us and have undertaken massive development, although we only have letters of allotment,” said Ken Njue.
