Court blocks illegal bid to reclaim land owned by Kiambu golf club

The Environment and Land Court blocked the Kiambu County government from forcing a private golf club to cede 20 acres of land, ruling the move unlawful and procedurally flawed. The club, founded in 1916, has occupied the land for over a century and applied for lease renewal, claiming compliance with conditions. The county justified its demand for land surrender for public amenities, but the court found the demand arbitrary and unconstitutional.
