Oil marketer TotalEnergies has suffered a setback after the Environment and Land Court dismissed its case seeking to reclaim a parcel of land in Nairobi’s Makadara area from former Cabinet minister Samuel Kazungu.
The court ruled that while it has jurisdiction to hear land-related disputes, TotalEnergies and Gapco Limited wrongly filed a constitutional petition to challenge ownership of the land instead of instituting an ordinary civil suit.
