National Assembly Deputy Speaker Gladys Shollei has been dragged into a long-standing court case pitting two families over ownership of Sh100 million prime land in Uasin Gishu County.

One of the parties in the 37-acre land dispute, Abraham Chebii, told Eldoret High Court Judge Robert Wananda that his life was in danger and accused Ms Sholliei of allegedly meddling in the matter.

Chebii claimed that the Uasin Gishu County Woman Representative had warned him to withdraw the case or face unspecified consequences.

He said he has since reported the matter to the police.
