A former parastatal director is fighting to have his Ksh400 million Lavington mansion restored to his family.
A report by
People Daily on Tuesday, March 2, indicated that former Kenya Medical Research Institute (Kemri) Director Davy Koech had accused a businessman, Walter Kiprop Chumo, of illegally transferring the property to himself.
The plot is reportedly currently registered under Chumo s name in which the former director claimed was a move hatched by the businessman to defraud his family.
Appearing in court on Monday, March 1, Chumo, however, denied the claims explaining that the two had entered into a sale agreement on March 22, 2013.

Frustrated by poor public water supply, many Kenyans are increasingly drinking from salty boreholes.
Today, a borehole on site is a must-have for property buyers or renters in the country’s growing urban centres.
“You pay more for a flat connected to a borehole, but at least it assures you of constant water supply,” says Joseph Muteru of Tassia in Embakasi, Nairobi.
