Two developers, including a company and individual property owners, have lost ownership of a 29-year-old parcel of land in Nairobi's upscale Karen estate.
The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has successfully reclaimed the prime land along Mukoma Road, which had been illegally acquired by private individuals and is valued at Ksh45 million.
The recovery was facilitated by a ruling from the Environment and Land Court in Nairobi, which ordered the land's return to the government following a petition challenging its unlawful annexation.
According to court documents, the recovered piece of land known as L.R. 2270/71 measuring 0.029 hectares, was surrendered to the Government of Kenya in 1994 for public utilities and the construction of a public access road.
