The Kenya Railways wrote to Mr Ng’ang’a on Friday indicating that the land occupied for years by the church along Haile Selassie Avenue is the corporation’s property.
Kenya Railways said the parcel occupied by Neno church “encroaches on land initially reserved for railway use” but had supposedly been allocated irregularly.
“You are hereby requested to surrender all documents relating to the irregular allocation of the above referenced property to the corporation,” stated the corporation that has in recent months intensified efforts to reclaim what it says is its grabbed land across the country.
“Historical records in our possession indicate that the land bound by Haile Selassie Avenue, Uhuru Highways and Bunyala Road in which various Railway infrastructure are contained was reserved for railway use,” the letter signed by Kenya Railways MD Philip Mainga reads in part.
The reclamation has already happened in Kisumu, the result being the eviction of tens of businesses and demolition of a number of structures.
“There is no record in our possession showing that the Corporation surrendered the said land to the Commissioner of lands for allocation and hence the process is irregular, ” said Mainga.
Ng’ang’a was directed to surrender all documents relating to the “irregular allocation” to Kenya Railways.
