hizi zitabomolewa kweli or the government/tax payers will compensate KU? kama waitiki land?


At the thought of losing the parcel, she gets teary, then sighs deeply. Clearly overwhelmed, she stares at the vastness of the sky, lost in words. When she musters the courage to speak, her first words are: “I hope the appeal ruling will be lenient.”
“I just can’t get my head to imagine watching this investment being flattened…I just can’t imagine looking at the rubble where my plot stood.”
“Erected on the parcel is a residential building with 14 units - 10 single rooms on the ground floor and four bedsitters on the first floor,” she says. “I can’t stand watching this being flattened by the bulldozers.”
Ms Wanjiku, a businesswoman, borrowed Sh1 million in June 2018 and invested the whole amount on this parcel of land. At the time, all she saw was an investment opportunity. She didn’t know it was contested land.
And that whatever the original owner might have been running away from would catch up with her years later: a court’s decision ordering all inhabitants to vacate.
Sited a few metres directly opposite the Kenyatta University Hospital gate, hers is prime land by all standards.
Immediately after she got wind of the original owner’s intention to sell the land, her business instincts kicked in. She knew it would give back tenfold.
At the time, she and the seller only presented themselves before the Kamae Community chairman and sealed the ownership exchange deal.
She didn’t even know that a few months later, this would be her livelihood – her primary source of income, her home – and by extension a burden to her.
“I just can’t wrap my head around the idea of losing all these,” a teary Wanjiku says.
The owner only wanted to vacate the place, leaving behind all the investments. It was an incomplete residential building. She says she improved the units and added four more on the first floor.
The only story the seller told her was, “he had chosen to give up this plot to develop another plot elsewhere”

When the deal is too good think twice.

True, but you look at the amounts involved. I did something similar in Kitui, but only because the amount was kidogo, and in my calculations by the time kiumane nitakua nimepata faida. I can't do it if we are talking of 1m+
 
They will not be touched hapa siasa has saved them the sight of those bulldozers plus flattened buildings will induce a second round of Kumira kumira

Hapana Bwana Architect, in places where you have no title you ensure that your agreement is signed and filled at the county land adjudication office.

That's potential problem Bwana Engineer, they're relatives now, 20-30 years from now they will be distant relatives or not related at all, woe unto those who wouldn't have regularised the 'gentlemen's agreement'. Watarukwa na cap210.

It's filed that you have interest in the said parcel and the size of your interest as captured by a surveyor, when time comes for issuance of title deeds, you get one issued to you. Also it's best to fence your interest and plant trees if you are not interested in farming now, to prevent people from encroaching building shacks and claiming it under the 12 years residence rule.

Other than the survey deed plan, unahitaji lawyer? Ama agreement signed by both seller and buyer flies?
 
Some ignorance is inexcusable in this day and age.
Surely and sincerely everybody ought to know some legal basics concerning land. It is after all one of the most popular investment portfolios amongst Kenyans.
Contract for sale of land or for that matter any transactions pertaining to land MUST be in writing and signed by both parties, This is the law 101 touching on land.

Whether land is titled, registered or by allotment letter, in order to deal in it (eg by sale, mortgage, rent, easement) it has to be in writing. If it is not in writing it cannot be enforced.

If you do not have a written contract signed by both parties, a deed which is signed and dated, you have no recourse to legal redress. It is that simple.

By the way, this Lady’s ignorance would never be entertained by a Court for the very fact that she is a Businesswoman and she ought to know all about contracts.
