THE STANDARD NAIROBI City Hall has started investigation into how a piece of public land in Muthaiga, Nairobi, ended up in the hands of private developers and a shopping centre constructed. According to the assembly, the land measuring 1.3 hectares was conditionally granted by the now-defunct City Council in 1978 to Gemeni Property Limited for the construction of a clinic and a day nursery school and two resident houses for a teacher and the doctor in charge. Later the land, LR No. 209/9295, changed hands under unclear circumstances and has since been developed. The investigations commenced after the Nairobi Central Business District MCA Daniel Ngengi, through a request for statement tabled in the House, said the setting up of the multi-million-shilling complex went against the earlier plan for a clinic and a school.
