Kajiado Governor Joseph ole Lenku has appealed to the Senate to assist his county in recovering Sh10.5 billion owed to it in land rates by the Magadi Soda Mining Company, which has declined to honour its obligations for many years.
Lenku, who appeared before the Senate County Public Accounts Committee, said the company, which has been in the area for 100 years and occupies 400,000 acres of land, should be compelled to pay the land rates that would go a long way in supporting development activities.
