The Environment and Lands Court in Nakuru has barred Kenya Railways Corporation (KRC) from developing a prime parcel of land it repossessed last year. According to the traders, the land located along Geoffrey Kamau Way in Nakuru town was legally allocated to them and they set up business ventures before Kenya Railways changed its mind on October 11 and decided to take it back. KRC demolished property, including petrol stations, nightclubs, shops and malls in an attempt to reclaim the land. In addition, Wamuhu seeks general damages for trespass by KRC, lost income from her rental premises and cost of the suit. The judgement dated September 21, 1995, declared that the land belonged to Wamuhu and her husband.
