Kakamega High School and a neighbouring family are embroiled in a tussle over a tree that was recently felled by the institution.
The family insists they are the genuine owners of the indigenous tree, which they claim to have inherited from their forefathers.
According to the family, there was a binding pact between the school and the local community that ownership of trees growing along the border would be determined by the side a tree falls on when it is cut down.
