The Court of Appeal has suspended payment of Sh3.8 billion to six companies that successfully sued the government for mandatory acquisition of their land for construction of the standard gauge railway and Southern bypass in Mombasa.
Justices Pauline Nyamweya, Jessie Lesiit, and George Odunga suspended the payment following an application by the National Land Commission, arguing that the Environment and Land Court ordered the payment despite the land's disputed ownership.
