The National Lands Commission has assured investors that due process will be followed in recovery of land wrongfully acquired from the public.
Vice Chair Abigael Mbagaya gave the assurance during the hearing of a six-year-old land case in which public spaces have been grabbed by private developers in Donholm Estate, Nairobi County.
“We are done with Tena Estate. Our focus is on Donholm and we hope to conclude this before May 27,” she said. During the hearing, the commission concluded that the original owners of the 6-acre Donholm land did not give maps that could have shown the positions of public spaces which were later grabbed. Samson Otieno (pictured), a resident, while giving his submissions to the National Land Commission Review of Grants and Disposition of Public Land sitting on Friday, said a residential estate had been put up in the area at the expense of Savanna Jua Kali squatters.
The NLC team watched a video clip showing how a school was demolished in Donholm and ordered that the maps of the contested land be presented before it tomorrow.
