The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) has in a new row probed a land dispute in Kiambu County that reportedly amounts to Sh10 million.

The land, measuring 302 acres situated at Kamiti road, along the Northern Bypass and valued at Sh9,664,000,000 is claimed by the estate of former provincial commissioner late John Godhard Mburu who was the director of Miaraho limited.
