| Updated Mon, February 13th 2017 at 11:00 GMT +3A US consortium has sued the National Land Commission (NLC) for alleged frustration in putting up a Sh23 billion wind farm. Cordisons International Ltd wants the court to compel NLC to give them a land lease for 11,100 acres of land, which the county government has approved for the project. The matter resumes at the High Court on Wednesday after the AG's objection was overruled. In papers filed at the court, Cordisons accused NLC chairman Muhammad Swazuri of unlawfully pushing to allocate part of the land to another firm. It alleged that Dr Swazuri wants to annex and allocate part of the land to Kenwind Holdings, a subsidiary of Belgium wind firm Electrawind, which was recently taken over by Elicio NV.
