PREMIUM Court orders KDF to vacate prime land opposite Ulinzi House In the judgment that ends a 13-year legal battle, private developer Acres and Homes Limited's ownership was upheld. Muranga 29 min ago Listen

Article The Environment and Land Court has ordered the Department of Defence to vacate a land parcel opposite Ulinzi House on Nairobi's Lenana Road after finding its occupation of the property was unlawful.

The court ruled that Acres and Homes Limited had proved it lawfully owned the land, while the government failed to substantiate claims that the property was a public road reserve illegally allocated to private companies.

The developer sought vacant possession, general damages for trespass and compensation of Sh250,000 monthly for the income it said it lost while the Defence department occupied the land from May 31, 2012 until the property was returned.
