High Court to rule on Italian’s claim of Kirima land on April 18

The high court will on the 18th of April make a ruling on an application made by Italian claiming ownership of the contested Kirima land.

The court will decide on whether it will issue temporary orders preserving the contentious Kirima land in Njiru pending the determination of the application.

Meanwhile, the court on Monday issued directions in the matter and directed parties to file and serve their papers.

“Documents filed or served given timelines shall stand expunged, parties to avail hard copies of their documents via court registry,” Environment and Land Court Judge Lucy Mbugua directed.

The Italian family has disputed claims that they leased the land to the Kirimas.

Bernado Vicezo De says that they were not aware of any sale or lease to the Kirimas and were shocked by the judgement issued on October 23 last year.
