The women testified that some time in 2009, it was announced in church that members of the congregation would be assisted to acquire land by Milele Ventures, a company associated with PCEA Kambui in Ruiru.
Through separate agreements entered into with the women, the company is said to have agreed to sell some 10 acres to Ms Mwihaki and 50 acres to Ms Kiritu.
The land was then being sold for Sh1.5 million per acre but owing to some developments in the area, the price shot up to Sh1.7 million for an acre.
The women said they felt short-changed and sued the firm, arguing that the company reneged on their deal after they completed paying the amount.
The court directed the company to surrender the 40 acres to the women.
Two women are fighting to have a company associated with the Presbyterian Church of East Africa (PCEA) surrender to them 40 acres of land in Ruiru, several months after obtaining a court order.
Ms Alice Wangui Mwihaki and Ms Agnes Wambui Kiritu sued Milele Ventures in 2010 but it was not until 2014 when the High Court ruled on the case.
