In the volatile Trans Mara South, where historical land grievances continue to fuel deep-seated tensions, Emurua Dikirr MP Johanna Ngeno has once again placed himself at the centre of controversy.
To his supporters, Ngeno is a fearless defender of the marginalised, a voice for the Kipsigis community willing to confront state authority.
To his critics, however, he is a populist firebrand-one who thrives on division and political drama.
Violence erupted in Angata Barrikoi on April 28, following a government-led land demarcation exercise.
