KenGen fails in bid to stop geothermal land dispute

KenGen has lost its bid to have a judge throw out a case filed by a land buying company in Naivasha over a disputed 3,000 acre parcel acquired for geothermal drilling over a decade ago.

Justice Mwangi Njoroge of the Environment and Land Court in Nakuru struck out the application by the State-owned power generator, saying an earlier suit brought by disgruntled members of Ng’ati Farmers’ Co-operative Society was not determined on merit.
