  • LSK President Nelson Havi called on Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i to intervene saying some government officers are involved in the longstanding land dispute.

The Law Society of Kenya (LSK) now says the shooting of Meru lawyer Kirimi Mbogo on Wednesday evening could be linked to a dispute over a 10,000-acre piece of land in Kianda, Igembe South.

Mr Mbogo, who acts for five clans that claim ownership of the land, was shot in the stomach by unknown assailants outside his office in Maua town before the shooter fled on a motorbike.
