What you need to know:

  • The KDF insists that it owns the land, which is known as KDF Roysambu Camp.
  • Sidhi Investments wants Uchumi compelled to honour a 2005 sale agreement in which the company was to buy the property for Sh118 million.

The Kenya Defence Forces (KDF) and Uchumi Supermarkets are locked in a standoff after the military took over a Sh2.8 billion piece of prime land, which the struggling retailer is in the process of selling to a church.

Five months ago Uchumi reached an agreement with Jesus Winners Ministry to sell the 20-acre land on Thika Road for Sh2.8 billion.
