A Catholic church in Siaya County is facing eviction from a land parcel over an unpaid Sh50,000 from a purchase deal dating back to 1976.

The Environment and Land Court ruled that the church's five decades of occupation could not defeat the registered landowner's title because it never paid the agreed purchase price despite building a permanent church on the land.
