Residents of Kwale are urging the government to resolve land disputes affecting Kwale International Sugar Company Ltd (Kiscol) to boost foreign investment and resolve stalled resettlement plans.

• $24 billion (Sh24 billion) in damages was recently ordered against the government for breaching a 2007 land sublease agreement with Kiscol.
• The land dispute involves 27,000 acres intended for local outgrower households that were never transferred, impacting Kiscol's operations and potential to close Kenya's sugar deficit.
• Kwale International Sugar Company Ltd, a $400 million (Sh52 billion) agro-processing project, has faced significant challenges due to the unimplemented resettlement plan.
