EACC recovers Sh25m road reserve next to University of Nairobi Mombasa Campus

EACC has recovered a Sh25 million road reserve that was allegedly grabbed and converted into private property near the University of Nairobi’s Mombasa Campus.

The property, identified as Mombasa Municipality/Block XIX/305, lies along Machakos Road and provides access to the university campus.

The recovery follows a judgment by the Environment and Land Court which found that the parcel had formed part of a public road reserve before it was illegally and fraudulently alienated in 1994.

In a judgment, Justice Yuvinalis Maronga Angima declared the lease and survey plan used to create the parcel null and void and ordered the cancellation of the relevant land and survey records.

The court also permanently barred further dealings with the property.

The case arose from investigations conducted by EACC into the alleged irregular allocation of land reserved for public use.
