Eldoret town is well-known for producing world-record-breaking athletes who train here, but it is also fast earning a bad reputation as a haven for scammers and con artists. 

Large landowners also reside in the evergreen town, and these individuals are the targets of dishonest people who prey on those they perceive to be easy targets. 

Three suspects are in the dock in a crowded town courtroom. They are charged with defrauding old people of their property.

Large landowner retirees are the target of the suspects. They have mastered the art of deceit, beginning with the attraction and assurance of quick money. 


The most recent victims of this complex scam are Mzee Charles Yano and his wife, Mary Chepkonga. According to Mzee Yano, the path leading to the loss of his land began quite innocently. 

While purchasing feed for his cows, a young man named Brian approached him and expressed interest in raising cattle.

“Akakuja kijana chipukizi akaniambia naona unanua nyasi, nataka niwe mtu kama wewe, nataka nione ngombe yako, nikaona ni kijana very young, ile mamelon anatumia hana nia maya, akamoba simu nikapea yeye namba jioni akapiga simu ..jioni akapiga simu,” Charles Yano told Citizen TV.
