Monday, October 28, 2024 – A court sitting in Nairobi has stopped the construction of a
police station on a disputed piece of land in Mihang’o, Nairobi.
Milimani Commercial Courts Chief
Magistrate P. Achieng issued the orders halting the upgrading of Mihango Police
Station after Githunguri Njiru Farm Limited, which claims ownership of the
parcel on which the facility stands, went to court seeking orders to stop
any further development.
The firm has sued the National
Police Service Commission, Inspector General of Police, Deputy Inspector
General of Kenya Police Service, Mihango OCS, Interior Cabinet Secretary, Njiru
Deputy County Commissioner, Mihango Chief and Attorney General for trespass on
land registered as IR 134230 LR 6845/16/11.
“Take note that any disobedience
of non-observance of the order of the court given on the 17th day of October 2024 served herewith will result in penal consequences to your agent(s) or any
person(s) for disobeying and not observing the same,” warned Achieng.
Recently, the Mihango community
led by area MCA Paul Kiguathi Kadosi embarked on a mission to upgrade the
station into a modern facility.
Resources were mobilised and masons deployed on
the site for construction works.
