Investor Basil Criticos is reviving his sisal estate that collapsed more than a decade ago, months after the ban on plastic bags that is expected to offer huge opportunities.

Mr Criticos, who is a former Taveta MP, has pumped millions of shillings into the sisal industry that collapsed after the government took away his 15,000 acres of land in 2008 where he had planted the cash crop.
