The government has stopped the subdivision of a 955-acre farm that is the subject of a dispute among three parties, including a research institution, four traders, and the community.
Despite a court order granting the four traders the right to fence 400 acres of the farm on the Gilgil-Nyandarua border, the State stopped the subdivision to avert a bloody clash.
The traders had ferried tens of youth to Kimbo village to start fencing, but armed residents moved in to stop the exercise, forcing police to intervene.
Kipipiri Deputy County Commissioner Martin Mbae said the dispute surrounding the land, which is owned by the research agency, started years ago.
