The battle between the widow and the Chinese company started in 2016 when it started excavating the land in Kisamis, Kajiado County, for materials to construct the SGR. She went to court and got orders stopping the excavation, but the company went on, prompting her to file a contempt of court case. She also ruled that the court orders were not properly served on the company officials to warrant any punishment. But through lawyer Kariuki Muigua, Mpano argued that the court orders were properly served and that the company had even acknowledged receipt. She also wants the court to permanently stop the company from illegally excavating her land.
