Justice Samson Okong’o heard that the suit property was transferred to the private company by the defunct city council on December 22, 1992. Mr Edward Rinkanya, who investigated the dealings with the suit property on behalf of EACC, said that the land was illegally excised from the city market and alienated to the private developer. The land was curved out from a land set aside for city market which is registered as L.R No.209/1855. Also joined in the case are the officials of City Market Stall Holders Association, who told court that the traders have interest in the land. In its court papers, Market Plaza Ltd indicated that its title to the suit property was indefeasible.
