The Freemasons Society has moved to court seeking compensation from Nairobi County following the clamping of their property over a Sh19 million land rates row.
The Masonic Trustees, in their case filed before High Court Judge Bahati Mwamuye, claimed that the county was aware that they were exempt from paying rates.
They asserted that although the county had been recalling the other notices it issued over the property located on Nyerere Road in Nairobi, it decided to invade and encroach on it.
Court papers read that the county caused damage in the process.
