Court orders Agriculture Ministry and NLC to Surrender Title Deed
A worker at Wambugu Agricultural Training Centre tends to a 'Sukuma wiki' (kales) plot at the institution. Following a compulsory acquisition the government converted the disputed estate to the Wambugu Farmers Agricultural Training Centre.
The Ministry of Agriculture has been ordered to surrender a title deed to a 54.55-hectare piece of land after a court established that it was illegally acquired by the ministry.
In a ruling issued on Friday by Justice James Olola of the Environment and Land Court in Nyeri, the ministry and the National Land Commission (NLC) were given 45 days to produce the title documents before court.
