Thika-based fruit processor Del Monte Kenya says a fresh survey of the entire acreage held by the multinational will finally put to rest a bitter row with Murang’a County and some of its residents who claim the firm is farming on more land than is registered in its title deeds.

While welcoming a decision of the National Assembly Committee on Land ordering the Director of Survey at the Land ministry to re-survey its land within 90 days, Del Monte said the move would absolve it from any wrongdoing.
