Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has obtained relief after a Nairobi court extended an order stopping a ministry of lands official from interfering with a disputed land valued at Sh1.5 billion.
Environment and Land Court Judge Ogutu Mboya Monday stopped the Director of Physical Planning at the Ministry of Lands John Michael Ohas and his company Columbus 2000 Limited from taking over the disputed five-acre land in Embakasi until October 13 when the matter will be heard.
