The Government has nullified the controversial acquisition of over 3,000 acres by Kenya Electricity Generating Company (KenGen) from Ng’ati farmers co-operative.

In a move meant to resolve a one-month long crisis that has rocked Maella in Naivasha, the Government said it would further investigate how the deal was carried out.
