Former Industrialisation Minister Henry Kosgei has been sued after he was accused of tricking farmers in a Ksh1.3 billion land deal. A report by the Nation on Monday, June 7, indicated that 18 farmers belonging to the Kaptien Farmers Society are seeking compensation as well as repossession of the land. After withdrawal, they argued that they made losses when the parcel was given to a rival group known as Cheptililik Farmers Cooperative Society. They claim that that new society (Cheptililik) then mocked them that they would lose the land despite paying the fees as ordered by the state. That is when they sued for full ownership in 1994 before they got into a deal with the former minister.
