ELC PETITION 339 OF 2017 AT THE NYAHURURU ELC COURT- ILMISIGIYOI GROUP RANCH V LEMIYON LEPARMARAI & 8 OTHERS
Kituo Cha Sheria is on record for a case concerning members of the Ilmisigiyoi Group Ranch who are from the Samburu community. Through our advocate Mr. John Mwariri we are representing a total of 600 families who form the Imisigyoi Group ranch and whose livelihoods are affected by the matter. Our clients are the owners and occupiers of the parcel of land situated in Lodokejek ward in Samburu County.
The dispute between the Ranch members and the defendants dates back to the time when the ranches were demarcated in the 1970s. During the said exercise beacons were erected and after a period of time the boundaries were illegally tampered with and as a result the Defendants who include the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation entered into our clients land illegally and have been occupying the piece of land.
The effect of this encroachment is that our clients have been dispossessed of their land with traditional boundaries and their livelihoods have also been affected as their grazing lands are now highly diminished. The matter filed at the Nyahururu ELC Court seeks to ascertain whether our clients are the lawful owners of the land identifiable by the aforesaid traditional boundaries and ensure that the parcels of land now occupied by the Defendants are returned back to the Samburu.
The matter came for hearing on the 13th February, 2018, when one of our witnesses, Mr. Lesingo Leiyagu testified and a further hearing is set for the 24th April, 2018.
