Signages on Thika Super Highway [Elvis Ogina, Standard]
The government has lost a court battle over six acres of prime land on Thika Road.
The Lands ministry bought the property from Springdew Properties in 2009 for Sh29 million for the expansion of Thika Road. The parcel was, however, not utilised.
Six years later, the company reached out to the ministry and refunded the money so it could build a mall on the property.
But in 2017, Springdew learnt that the land had appeared in the Kenya Gazette as a road reserve.
In court papers, the firm said it had already spent Sh25 million on mall construction by then.
