A heated dispute has emerged in Mwingi after Thunguthu River, a vital natural resource in the region, allegedly “annexed” ancestral land and native heritage from a local family. The affected residents claim that the river’s expansion, possibly due to recent heavy rains or environmental changes, has eroded sacred lands that have been part of their lineage for generations.
Community elders have called for urgent intervention, citing the spiritual and historical significance of the affected land. Meanwhile, local authorities and environmental experts are assessing the situation to determine if natural factors or human activity played a role in the river’s sudden territorial shift.
Residents now await government action as they push for restoration measures and legal recognition of their ancestral heritage.
