Eastern Produce Kenya (EPK) Ltd has escalated a fight over a parcel of land with members of a cooperative society in Nandi to the Court of Appeal after its tea estate was invaded by members last week.
The matter was certified as urgent by the duty judge following an application by EPK that the company risked losing the land and developments on it without the court intervening.
