Thousands of squatters have settled on the 25,000-acre farm they were fighting over with former MP Mark Too just three days after they were declared owners of the land.

In a landmark ruling on Friday, the Court of Appeal sitting in Kisumu declared the Sirkwa Squatters Group the legitimate owners of the land adjacent to Eldoret International Airport after a 15-year battle.
