More than 300 villagers are spending nights in the cold after being evicted from a 1,000-acre farm owned by President William Ruto in Mata village, Taveta, Taita Taveta County.
The villagers said armed police officers stormed the area at night with bulldozers, flattening homes despite existing court orders halting any eviction.
