Property worth millions of shillings belonging to Dominion farms is set to be auctioned next week.

The company, owned by an American investor Calvin Burgess, recently halted its operations and laid off more than 350 employees. The firm is said to be preparing to leave Kenya after 15 years of running a multi-billion shilling farming project in the Yala swamps.
