The Environment and Land Court has ordered the Kenya Railways Corporation (KRC) to acquire a 0.7145-hectare parcel of land it irregularly fenced off in Nairobi’s Embakasi area, locking out the owner for nearly a decade.
The court said that KRC violated Mary Odhiambo’s rights by occupying and fencing off her parcel of land that was initially partially acquired by the rail firm for the construction of a section of the Mombasa-Nairobi standard gauge railway (SGR) line.
