Verification of ownership of plots of the Embakasi Ranching Company’s land in Ruai has been extended by 10 days.

The Government was expected to conclude the verification yesterday but instead extended the deadline when it became apparent that only 75 per cent of the 18,000 hectares under Embakasi Ranching Company had been covered.
