(5) That Bata Shoe Company proceeded to acquire a 99-year lease grant of the land given to it by the elders effective 1st January, 1979 from the Ministry of Lands on the following terms and conditions, among others- (a) The land and the building to be put up shall only be used for a Bata Shoe Company and accommodation for a caretaker or a night watchman. (b) The grantee shall not subdivide the land. (c) The grantee shall not sell, transfer or sublet the land. (6) That for over 31 years from 1979 to 2011, Bata Shoe Company did not put up any shoe company but instead sold the land at Ksh12 million to Sparkle Properties Limited in 2013 for purportedly constructing a shopping mall in total disregard of the terms and conditions of the grant. (7) That in 2011, Sparkle Properties Limited’s attempts to develop the land were resisted by Mswambweni residents because the company was a stranger to them."
