The land was owned by the plaintiff, Saggaf Alawys now aged (99 years old) and was inherited by his children, Mr Hassan Nassir, Mr Mohamed Nassir and Mr Ahmed Nassir.
However, a group of people claimed ownership of the same property, and the dispute ended in the High Court in Mombasa.
All the parties were heard and a judgment was entered in favour of the plaintiff in 1995.
Fourteen years after a court issued judgment on ownership of a land in Kwale, a family that owns a large chunk of the Wasini Island has been locked out of the property by cartels.
Saggaf family, who are landless despite owning 289 acres of the island, say attempts to implement the court’s judgment and conduct a survey on the property worth Sh1.3 billion have been futile.
