Titles of land in the Export Processing Zone in Athi River that has not been developed for more than ten years will be revoked, President William Ruto has ordered.

"I have given clear instructions to the management here that all speculators, people who have held titles to pieces of land for 10 to 30 years without developing them, be revoked so that we can give it to people who want to use this facility," Ruto said, as he directed the Ministry of Land to move with speed and revoke the titles.
