A High court has stopped the Kenya Railways Corporation from demolishing or trespassing in Bungoma’s multi million Sharrifs Centre shopping mall. Judge Boaz Olao siting in Bungoma ordered that Kenya railways stops demolishing or evicting any tenants at the mall until the case is heard and determined. “Pending the ruling and determination of this case, this court restrains Kenya railways agents, servants or on anybody else acting on their behalf from, from demolishing or evicting anybody from the said land,” the judge ruled. Bungoma businessmen Nazumudin Sharrifs had moved to court to stop the demolition after the Kenya Railways marked the mall for demolition in an exercise that saw several other buildings brought down. “Marking my property for demolition had caused unnecessary panic and losses to my tenants who have since moved out,”Shariffs had argued.
