Kipsigis clans revive fight to reclaim ancestral tea estate land. [File, Standard]
More than 200 Kipsigis clans have revived their campaign to reclaim vast tracts of land occupied by multinational tea companies in Kericho and Bomet counties, declaring they want ownership of the land returned to the community rather than financial compensation.
Through their legal team, led by advocates Kipkoech Ng'etich and Keter Chebusit, the clans have issued a 30-day notice to the tea companies, demanding they surrender title deeds and vacate the land.
If the notice is ignored, the community says it will file a case at the Environment and Land Court.
