Privatisation of State-owned sugar mills in Nyanza region has been hit by a fresh setback following a land row pitting a local community against two firms.

In the row, more than 5,426 residents of Kajulu in Kisumu County have gone to court seeking to repossess 46,000 acres of land in Kibos, Miwani and Chemelil after the expiry of long-term leases for big firms.
