Kisii tea directors are up in arms against the encroachment on land jointly purchased by the two factories in Transmara, Narok County, ten years ago.
As of this week, only 856 acres of the mill's original 1,300 acres have been traced.
Directors said the intruders repeatedly thwarted efforts to trace the missing parts.
Ombasa Omweno board officials named Mr Nyamache, Mr Kiamokama, Mr Ebelehe Itumbe and Mr Lianyamwamu as those affected.
He spoke of farmers struggling to access their land for intended purposes due to skirmishes with invading insurgents.
The land was purchased in 2012 but remained unused for many years due to local protests.
The latest round of protests occurred on Friday, forcing police in riot gear to intervene with tear gas.
“We continue to face fierce opposition from invaders who we suspect may have ulterior motives, but we are grateful for the tremendous support the government has given us to ensure the land is restored. I am satisfied,” Omweno told reporters in Kisii on Tuesday morning. .
The fathers want to make sure the plot is fully recovered so it can be used for the original use the farmer had in mind.
The disputed works mentioned above are located in the Soit area of Transmara West.
The intruders, who suspect the directors are receiving funding, confronted them with bows and arrows during the visit.
The directors have since petitioned the Ministry of Lands and the Interior to deploy security guards to protect the land.
They also hope to drive the intruders out of their vast farm.
“As we have seen some activists claim, President Dr. William Ruto has nothing to do with this land, which was donated by tea farmers from all the factories already mentioned. The land was purchased from the proceeds,” Omweno added.
On Friday, Ang claimed the government was trying to take away their land.
However, in his response, Mr Omweno disputed the accusations, saying they were baseless and lacked substance.
He said the invaders hoped to get their way by using militias to intimidate and prevent them from entering the land.
James Millieri, the company's general counsel, said after years of conflict and blocking access from rightful owners, the rioters were wrong to abuse the “adverse possession clause” of the law. He said it might be possible.
He challenged the trespassers to produce proof of ownership in court.
“We have all the documentation to back up our ownership, they don't. That's why we ask the government not to give the rioters a chance,” he said.
