The indigenous tree that was cut down to pave way for road works in Lurambi constituency. [Benard Lusigi, Standard]Kakamega High School and a neighbouring family are embroiled in a tussle over a tree that was recently felled by the institution. The family insists they are the genuine owners of the indigenous tree, which they claim to have inherited from their forefathers. But the school principal, Gerald Orina, denied the existence of an ancestral pact, saying the tree belonged to the school. He said the confusion as to who owned the tree arose when the school was erecting a perimeter wall around the institution.
