Herders sustain fight with Moi estate, US charity for wildlife park

The land has been subject of controversy since 2009, when the community sued claiming ownership and in 2016, when the trial judge asked them to hire choppers to transport judicial officials to the land for a site visit.

The Court of Appeal has blocked members of the Samburu community from amending a claim suit, for control of a 17,000-acre land in Laikipia that the late former President Daniel Arap Moi sold at Sh400 million for the establishment.

The herders are seeking recovery of the vast land whose ownership was transferred to a US-based charity group, the African Wildlife Foundation (AWF), in 2011.
