Sitoi Tea Estate in Nandi County has lost more than Sh150 million in the past five months due to widespread land invasions and illegal activities, an industry lobby group claimed.

The Kenya Tea Growers Association (KTGA) claimed that criminal gangs have taken control of parts of the tea estate owned by Eastern Produce Kenya Limited (EPK) since August.
