Former Nairobi PC Davis Chelugui Convicted Over Sh1.7bn Lower Kabete Land

Trial Magistrate Dolphina Alego, in her judgment, ruled that the certificate of title held by Chelugui was forged, finding that the prosecution had proved its case beyond reasonable doubt.

NAIROBI, Kenya, Oct 16 – Former Nairobi Provincial Commissioner Davis Nathan Chelugui has been found guilty and convicted of unlawfully taking possession of a 7.3-acre parcel of land in Lower Kabete, Nairobi, belonging to businessman Ashok Shah.

The magistrate said evidence presented by 19 prosecution witnesses demonstrated that the documents used by Chelugui to support his claim to the property were fraudulent.

She further noted that cases filed by Chelugui against Shah before the Environment and Land Court had been dismissed in favour of the businessman.

The disputed parcel, located in Lower Kabete, Nairobi, is valued at approximately Sh1.7 billion.

The court, however, acquitted the second accused person, former Deputy Director in the Ministry of Lands Andrew Antony Kirugo, ruling that the prosecution had failed to prove the conspiracy charge against him.
