After the loud outcry by residents over the Eldoret Bypass project compensation process involving land cartels quick to invade the procedure annoyed residents, a new war has been launched in a matter touching Saitoti’s widow.
Two lobby groups and an individual have sued the widow of the late George Saitoti for allegedly blocking access to a road in Nairobi’s Lavington area.
Ukweli Usemwe, Uzalendo and Joseph Gitonga have accused Margret Saitoti of blocking an access road linking Mzima Springs Road to Olenguruone Avenue.
The petitioners in an urgent suit say the move has greatly inconvenienced them.
The widow of the former Cabinet Minister has allegedly fenced off a parcel of land 3734/675 belonging to Kenya Power and 3734/676 which she owns.
The petitioners have questioned how the parcel of land belonging to a parastatal ended up with her without due process being followed.
“Kenya Power disposed of the land without following due process yet that is public property where bidding ought to have been done.”
