We bought land as a chama in the outskirts of Nairobi with the sole intention of speculation and later subdividing it into plots to sell at a profit five years ago. However, the area chief recently told us that the Government intends to compulsorily acquire parcels of land to construct a hospital and a public school. We know we will be compensated financially, but what can be done to ensure the State does not pay us below the market price?
