UK multinational Camellia Plc says it does not control Kakuzi’s #ticker:KUKZ board or its day-to-day operations in a bid to distance itself from accusations that the agricultural firm has committed serious human rights abuses in Kenya.
The Kent-based firm has been sued in the UK by law firm Leigh Day which is representing scores of alleged victims of rape and violence perpetrated by Kakuzi’s employees.
