Murang'a County residents have threatened to invade Del Monte land in the county if they are not involved in the process of its lease renewal.
Through Murang'a County representatives group, the residents want the expansive pineapple farm sold to the highest bidder and that they be involved in the decision making process through public participation.
Thirdway Alliance party leader Ekuru Aukot, who is representing the group against Del Monte, called on the county government to ensure that the firm's lease for the land is not automatically renewed and that residents are given the opportunity to decide the next course of action.
Mr Aukot also appealed to President Uhuru Kenyatta to encourage the taking over of the land by Murang'a County upon the expiry of its lease.
He said the international firm, in its 49-year occupancy of the land, has committed gross human rights violations on its workers, environmental pollution and economic crimes among other injustices.
