The government has been stopped from hiving off 410 acres belonging to Kenyatta University.

Justice Oscar Angote of the Environment and Land Court issued the order following a petition by the Law Society of Kenya challenging attempts to force the university to surrender part of the land to Kenyatta  University Teaching and Referral Hospital (KUTRH), the World Health Organisation, and squatters.
