A judge has blocked a group of Murang'a residents from mining stones in a quarry that is situated within a parcel of land claimed by fruit grower Del Monte Kenya.

Justice Grace Kemei said the stone miners should not enter, occupy, carry out their quarrying activities or intefere with the land, which is situated in Gatanga Sub County, pending hearing and determination of a case that they filed at a magistrate's court in Kandara.
