The family of the man who donated a seven-acre piece of land for a coffee mill in Ekapwonje, Kakamega, wants compensation before construction starts.

Charles Lipuku, son of the late Andati Amakati who donated the land, said as a clan, they were not against the move by Western Community Health Association Coffee Ltd to put up the factory but want to be remunerated first.
