The controversy surrounding the 33-year lease for an 8,700-acre nucleus estate used by Mumias Sugar Company for cane development is now before the National Assembly, amid a legal case initiated by affected families seeking to repossess the land.
At the centre of the row are families — locally referred to as Abahuyi (Luhya word for immigrants) — battling to resettle on the land after the lease granted to the miller expired in 2001.
