Lands Court awards Ksh300 million to Gatabaki family for land illegally acquired by government for the Northern Bypass.
Nancy Wanja Gatabaki, the widow of a former Kiambu tycoon the late Samuel Mundati Gatabaki is embroiled in a court battle with the Nairobi county government to block the devolved unit from demolishing her businesses located at the multi-billion Fourways Junction Estate on Kiambu Road.
Wanja and her daughters; Beatrice Gathoni and Susan Wangari have lodged a constitutional petition to quash an enforcement notice from the county.
The three are the administrators of the vast estate of the late patriarch.
City Hall claims the businesses stand on a disputed public land.
But the Gatabaki family has opposed the county government’s acquisition of the disputed public utility land which she claims does not exist both on the ground and at the Chief Land Registrar’s office.
According to the widow, the utility land reference 5980/1 that the county was demanding “is another fraudulent parcel which was allegedly created from the questionable land reference 28223 and is a matter before the National Land Commission (NLC).”
