Kenya to Pay Investor Ksh.17 Billion Over Property Protection Failure

The dispute dates back to 1977 when Mr. Njeru purchased the land, but he lost control of it in 1988 due to encroachment by locals, allegedly with police support.

The Court of Appeal in Kenya has ordered the Kenyan government to pay Ksh.17.3 billion to an investor, Peter Mwai Njeru, as compensation for failing to protect his 22,465-acre farm, Twiga Farm, in Narok County from invasion by the local community.

The dispute dates back to 1977 when Mr. Njeru purchased the land, but he lost control of it in 1988 due to encroachment by locals, allegedly with police support – According to Business Daily report.

Despite attempts to reclaim the property, including a High Court ruling in his favor in 1998, the government did not enforce the decision, allowing the invasion to persist.

The Court of Appeal upheld a 2022 High Court ruling that the State was liable for not safeguarding Mr. Njeru’s property rights, dismissing the Attorney-General’s appeal.

The compensation was calculated based on the land’s value at Ksh.770,000 per acre, reflecting its current estimated worth, and the ruling emphasized the government’s constitutional duty to protect private property.
