Court rules KICC land belongs to State, revokes Kanu’s ownership titlePlans by the former ruling party, Kenya African National Union (Kanu), to reclaim the Kenyatta International Convention Centre (KICC) has been dealt a blow after a judge ruled that it illegally acquired a title deed to the land where the building stands. The Environment and Land Court judge revoked the title deed issued to the independence party on May 25, 1989, saying the allotment letter given to Kanu on May 10, 1969, by the commissioner of lands, was unprocedural. Justice Mogeni upheld a new title deed- registration number 209/19829 on June 1, 2010, to the PS Treasury as a trustee for the Ministry of Tourism, saying it was valid. Kanu wanted the court to declare that it was the beneficial owner of the land LR No. 209/11157, having been allocated the land and obtained a title deed 20 years later, for 99 years.
