What you need to know:

  • The rail link will pass through several parcels of land owned by individuals, further intensifying the growing feud between the two groups.    

The proposed extension of the railway line from Maai Mahiu to Longonot has stirred up a land tussle between parcel owners and a group of pastoralists.

The wrangle has been fuelled by the expected windfall land owners expect to get from the government as compensation.
