Embakasi East Member of Parliament Babu Owino now claims an Italian tycoon is the original owner of the contested multi-billion land in Njiru.
Speaking during a press conference, the legislator stated that he has flown in the tycoon into Kenya and will be moving to court to challenge the ownership of the family of the late billionaire Gerishon Kirima.
He stated that Domenico DiMasi, the original owner of the disputed 1,000 acres of land, is currently in the country. "The parcel of land does not belong to Kirima because the proof of ownership of land is by having a title deed. The indenture document that I have, which is an original copy issued by the government, was drawn in 1966 and it shows that the land was sold to Domenico DiMasi an italian," he stated.
The Environment and Land Court gave a ruling on Tuesday that ordered the affected settlers to vacate or be evicted from the 1,000 acres of land by December 31st.
