Former Cabinet minister Cyrus Jirongo’s fight to retain ownership of a 1, 000 acre piece of land in Nairobi’s Ruai area has taken a new turn after a group of squatters laid claim to the prime property valued at Sh7 billion.

The land, owned by Mr Jirongo’s Offshore Trading Company, is at the centre of another case between the former Lugari MP and the Central Bank of Kenya (CBK).
