The family of the late former Cabinet Minister Mbiyu Koinange has lost its bid to halt the leasing of a contested 4,296-acre piece of land in Mau Narok, Nakuru County.
This came after the Environment and Lands Court in Nakuru dismissed an application filed in December 2024 by Margaret Njeri Mbiyu, the widow of the late minister, against Josephat Mpoe, Joseph Mpoe, and 22 others.
Njeri had sought a permanent injunction to stop the Mpoes from leasing the land to third parties, invading the property, or interfering with the ownership rights to Muthera Farm LR No. 8669/3 in Mau Narok.
In her application, Njeri also requested the court to issue orders halting the excavation and removal of topsoil from Muthera Farm, which was allegedly being transported to Bomet County and other locations, pending the outcome of the case.
