Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua wins after the Environment and Lands Court rules that his firm Wamunyoro Investments is the lawful registered owner of Sh1.5 billon land situated near JKIA.
High Court Judge Oguttu Mboya declared the title deed of the Columbus 2000 who claimed the land, was declared illegal and directed the Chief Lands Registrar directed to rectify the register to reflect the judgement by the court.
The case was filed in court in 2022 by Wamunyoro Investments.
Through lawyer Philip Nyachoti, the company, Wamunyoro Investments accused a former official and the company of tampering with records at the land office.
The property, according to Gachagua, is charged to Equity Bank as collateral for various financial facilities granted to him at Sh200 million.
Court documents show the previous owners of the land situated in Nairobi were Karandi Farm Limited, Peter Mbugua, and Pauline Muringe
