Four years after property owners along the Standard Gauge Railway (SGR) project in Taita Taveta received their compensation, some of them have blown the money, with little investment to their name.
Although many of the land owners received millions of shillings, some of them squandered the pay-out.
However, some used the cash to transform their lives.
Mr Ngavazi Muthungu from Birikani said the SGR line passing through his farm was a blessing.
From the Sh1. 4 million payment, he bought an alternative piece of land where he put up a residential building.
