A row has erupted between a private investor and squatters over the ownership of 100 acres of land in Taita Taveta County.

The squatters have blocked the Bayusuf family from developing the plot in the Msharinyi area near Maungu Town along the Nairobi-Mombasa highway.

The Bayusuf family reportedly acquired the disputed land from a ranch to build an industry.

Marungu Ward Representative Stephen Nzai claimed that the squatters have been living on the land for years and had been issued 1450 allotment letters by the government.
