Tata Chemicals Magadi, which is embroiled in a Sh17 billion land rates dispute, on Saturday took the conflict a notch higher when it destroyed property belonging to Kajiado County Government. The firm's management produced a court order and said the construction "on their land" is illegal. Tata Chemicals issued fresh orders to Magadi MCA Joseph Masiaya and Ward Administrator Julius Rikanka to vacate their company houses immediately. The firm is contesting the land rates dating back to 2013. Former Nominated MCA Charles Lekanet said Tata Chemicals showed no regard for the people of Magadi who gave them land.
