Rights group wants continued boycott of Kakuzi produce
By Allan Mungai
The Kenya Human Rights Commission wants the Murang’a County Assembly to block any plans to renew the land leases held by Kakuzi until claims on historical land injustices are resolved.
Kakuzi’s parent company, Camellia Plc based in the UK, announced last week that it had agreed to pay Sh696 million to settle claims of human rights abuses allegedly perpetrated by employees in its Kenyan agricultural operation.
The firm s guards have been accused of committing atrocities ranging from killings, rape and other forms of sexual and gender-based violence.
