A small stretch of land between Nyayo House and the Intercontinental Hotel in Nairobi, measuring approximately 0.2 acres or 13 metres, has become the subject of an ongoing legal and financial battle. This area, which has a parking lot, has proven too expensive for both taxpayers and private entities to address, with claims that it was once part of an 80-metre road.
Nairobi County, the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC), its predecessor, the Kenya Anti-Corruption Commission (KACC), along with Kenya Properties Limited, the owners of the Intercontinental Hotel, have all faced substantial financial penalties for attempting to challenge the ownership of this land, which belongs to Willesden Investments Limited.
