The Environment and Land Court in Mombasa on Friday stopped a German woman and a Kenyan from evicting residents living on a Sh183 million property in Kikambala, Kilifi county. The couple, however, claim Mwandiku violated the sale agreement by not paying the balance of Sh21 million for the land. According to Behrmann, Mwandiku paid a deposit of Sh.2 million and they agreed to stagger the rest of the payment for nine months. Since last month, the two parties have been embroiled in a tussle with Lenguris, leading panga-wielding gangs to evict Mwandiku’s relatives staying at the property. The court on Friday stopped Behrmann from forcibly repossessing the land and ordered the matter should first be heard and determined.
