A Kwale family that got a title deed for 124.7 hectares or about 309 acres on Wasini island after more than 30 years of a protracted legal battle has now rolled out the eviction process for occupants.

The Saggaf family has sent out letters to five hotels built on the land to remove their structures or negotiate for lease within 90 days to be forcibly evicted.
