Drama unfolded after surveyors from Murang'a County government were ejected from a portion of land at Delmonte Kenya Limited (DKL).

A team of surveyors scampered to safety after their attempts to access the 1,400-acre land the pineapple processor ceded to the county government were thwarted by irate Kandara Residents Association members.
