Del Monte school land case escalates row with Munga

Pioneer Girls Thika, a school founded by billionaire businessman Peter Munga, has accused fruit processor Del Monte of curtailing mediation talks over a disputed 75-acre piece of land by filing a suit to lock the education facility out of the property.

The school says in court filings that there are ongoing negotiations between his Pioneer Girls Thika school, Del Monte and Goshen Gardens Limited — which previously occupied the land — but that the talks may be ruined by the suit filed by the fruit processor in December last year.
