Elgeyo Marakwet residents have petitioned Parliament to return to them land on which a fluorspar mining firm owned by former powerful Cabinet minister Nicholas Biwott’s son-in-law is built.

The 555 community members claim that the government hived off 9,070 acres of their ancestral land had in 1973 for a mining venture run by Kenya Fluorspar Company Ltd.
