Court documents show NLC is seeking cancellation of Carlisle’s title and a declaration that a compensation award of Sh1 billion issued in favour of the company is unenforceable because it was allegedly obtained through fraud and misrepresentation.

The National Land Commission (NLC) has opened a fresh court battle to block payment of more than Sh1 billion to a private developer for a parcel of land reserved for the construction of a hospital for the National Police Service (NPS) in Nairobi’s Embakasi area.

In a suit filed at the Environment and Land Court in Nairobi, the NLC wants Carlisle Development Company Limited stripped of ownership of a 28-acre parcel of land which it says belongs to the public and was allocated to the police in the 1990s and therefore unavailable for private allocation.
