Court dismissed application by Aimi ma Lukenya Society to stop the demolitions of EAPCC land in Mavoko.
Lands CS says having a share certificate is not enough for anyone to claim ownership of any parcel of land.
Anyone who is currently occupying public land should vacate with immediate effect, Lands Cabinet Secretary Alice Wahome has said.
In what looks like a move to play catch up in order to avert more Kenyans from losing their property as it happened in the Mavoko land case, the CS said the eviction processes will be implemented by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), Anti-Recovery Agency (ARA) and the National Police Service.
