Kileleshwa Member of County Assembly (MCA) Robert Alai has been ordered to vacate a parcel of land in Runda within 24 hours or face legal action.
In a letter to the city MCA, Cancer Investments limited through lawyer Harrison Kinyanjui also ordered Alai to remove illegal structures on the land, within 24 hours.
“Our instructions are to demand from you, which we hereby do, that within 24 hours of the date of this demand letter, you Forthwith vacate from our client’s property known as L.R. 7785/102, situate in Runda, Nairobi City County, and that you remove therefrom your illegal structures which you have unlawfully erected thereon, and in violation of our client’s proprietary rights to the said property,” the demand letter sent to Alai stated.
Kinyanjui threatened to institute legal action against Alai, in case he fails to heed the order.
The lawyer said the legal action includes orders of eviction and declarations as well as other costs arising from the eviction such as hiring security to maintain peace, bulldozer machinery to remove the unlawfully erected structures, and other expenses incurred during the execution of the order.
“We will have no other reference to you in default of your compliance with this demand,” Kinyanjui added.
The letter stated that Alai trespassed onto the private property known as L.R. 7785/102 in posh Runda estate, and purported to settle and grant “unauthorized licence to strangers, vagabonds, and trespassers” who erected illegal structures.
“You have further invited unknown persons armed with crude weapons to unlawfully occupy and reside on our client’s said property without any right or approval from our Client, and at your behest, they have damaged the main access gate thereto, and ruined the pristine nature of our client’s said property with the sole purpose of illegally alienating the same to yourself, and creating a false status quo,” the demand letter stated.
