  "summary": "Floriculture International Limited has appealed to the Inspector General of Police to intervene in a long-standing land dispute in Thika, Kenya, following years of occupation by Central Kenya Limited. The dispute dates back to June 1993 when charges were registered over the property in favor of Trust Bank Limited and Trust Finance Limited to secure facilities of Sh15 million and Sh30 million, respectively. Central Kenya challenged the transaction in Nairobi High Court Civil Suit Number 3590 of 1995, alleging irregularities in the charges, sale, and transfer. However, in 2020, Justice Francis Tuiyott dismissed the suit, finding that Central Kenya had failed to prove its case. Floriculture now argues that the judgment affirmed its ownership and entitles it to possession and quiet enjoyment of the property. The company has requested the police to investigate alleged trespass and forcible detainer on the land, facilitate its recovery of vacant possession, and take appropriate action, including recommending criminal charges to the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions where warranted.",
