Food processor Del Monte has told the court that it is not ready to cede any bit of its 22,500-acre land to the Murang’a County government, arguing that no agreement to do so was ever signed between the two warring parties.
Del Monte admits in freshly filed court papers that it had started negotiations with Murang’a County that could have seen it cede more than 6,000 acres of its massive plantation, but adds that the talks did not materialise.
