By GEORGE SAYAGIEMore by this AuthorThe High Court has barred the National Land Commission from cancelling a title deed of a disputed 26, 100-hectare ranch in Maasai Mara, Narok County. URGENCYMr Kuya ole Kijabe, a member of the Oloololo Game Ranch, had filed a suit under certificate of urgency. The NLC notice stemmed from a claim lodged by Ilkarrekeshe Group Trust, a self-help group representing three ranches, in a two-decade court battle over the parcel of land. Although the community claimed to be in possession of a title deed of the land, Oloololo termed the documents as forgeries. DECADESThe battle that has spanned decades involves two rival Maasai groups — Oloololo Group Ranch, later named Oloololo Game Ranch Ltd and Oloirien Group Ranch Maasai, now called Ilkarekeshe Group Trust— which have laid claim to the 26, 100-hectare parcel.
