What you need to know:
- Mr Kirima died in December 2010 at a South Africa hospital, where he had been flown for specialised treatment.
- Squatter Mzee Smith Lusiji claimed the land belonged to an Italian settler, a Mr Dominic, who gave the land to the squatters when he left Kenya.
The family of late former assistant minister Gerishon Kirima want the High Court to evict over 1,310 squatters who have invaded their Njiru farm.
Lawyers Wilfred Nyamu, Fred Ojiambo, Paul Onduso and Stephen Mwenesi told Justice Samuel Okong’o that the squatters invaded the farm valued at Sh5 billion after the death of the former Starehe MP in 2010.
