The National Land Commission (NLC) yesterday suffered a setback after the High Court in Kisumu quashed its decision to allow a group of farmers from Nandi County to claim ownership of a disputed prime land in Nyando sugar belt.
The land in question has been at the centre of a controversy, with Nandi and Kisumu counties claiming its ownership. The contested parcel is where State-owned millers Chemelil, Miwani and Muhoroni sugar factories are built.
