The County government of Nandi through its legal officers presented a petition against the Multi-National Tea farms on behalf of Nandi residents who according to them, are the beneficiaries of the historical land injustices.
While speaking to West Media, NLC commissioner Dr. Samuel Tororei said the commission is entitled to pursue cases concerning land historical injustices, with an exception when it comes to land boundaries. He said the Senate has been entitled to look into the matters concerning land boundaries.
