Plant health monitor Kephis could lose more than 210 acres that has been grabbed or allocated to 48 private individuals in Kitale, Trans Nzoia County.
The Kenya Plant Health Inspectorate Service (Kephis) told Parliament that it has fenced only 120 acres out of the 330 acres it received from the Kenya Agricultural Livestock Research Organisation (Kalro), the successor to Kenya Agricultural Research Institute (Kari). Kalro does not have title documents for ownership of the 330 acres of land.
