Call for halt to Criticos’ farm sale

A worried farmer Basil Criticos who is a former Taveta MP shows a Nation reporter some of his sisal plantation which he said is part more then 15,000 hectares of his land which has been repocessed by the government without notifying him and new squarters had started invading the land after the government said it will settle the landless squarters.

The controversial subdivision of Mr Basil Criticos’ farm that is attached by the Agricultural Finance Corporation is in progress amid calls by local leaders for exercise to be halted.

Mr Criticos, former Taveta MP, was given the go-ahead in April to sell 7,000 acres to enable him repay a loan of Sh36 million he owes the AFC.
