Governor Waiguru says land ‘belonging to the nine clans of the Agikuyu’ was wrongly moved to Embu County in the 1960s. For about 30 years, communities occupying the land have tussled over ownership as State officials, politicians and residents engage in blame game. The disputed land in Mbeere South Sub-County of Embu County is occupied by the Mbeere, Embu, Kamba and Kirinyaga communities. “The land was initially given to 7,200 people but the number rose to about 9,000,” Mbeere South MP Geoffrey King’angi said. Mr King’angi and Kirinyaga Governor Anne Waiguru differ on how to end the dispute.
