The controversy surrounding the 45-year land lease granted to Devki Group for the construction of a Sh11 billion steel plant has taken a new turn.

On Wednesday, the Taita Taveta County Government stated that it does not recognise the allocation of the 14,500-acre plot to the investor by a faction of the Kishushe Ranching Cooperative Society.
