A court has ordered the government to pay Telkom Kenya Sh15 billion in compensation for forcibly taking over its parcel of land on Ngong Road in Nairobi and establishing a sports complex in a major win for the telco.

Justice Oguttu Mboya of the Environment and Land Court ruled that the government violated Telkom’s rights to property by taking over the 60-acre parcel of land without compensating the corporation.
