CoastJustice Ogola declared the title held by the two traders as illegal and that any other claim they had to the disputed land was of no legal effect. The county government of Mombasa has won a battle to reclaim 600-acres of land valued at Sh3.8 billion which had been irregularly allocated to two businessmen. “They did not file anything to support their claim to the land or a counter-affidavit to oppose the application by the county government. The facts as presented by the county are uncontradicted and unchallenged and which the court accepts as the truth,” ruled Ogola. The land was valued at Sh60 million per acre which translated to Sh3.6 billion for the 600 acres.
