City Hall to compensate investor Sh325m

City Hall has been ordered to compensate an investor in Westlands area Sh325 million for forcible eviction.

According to a High Court ruling, City Hall will also have to pay Sh2.4 million for loss of profits to the investor whose land the County Government wants to use to put up a modern market.

The investor went to court to seek compensation in a case that started in 2010 when City Hall decided to forcibly acquire the land after talks of buying it failed.
