Nos. 24030 and 19198 and title deeds issued to the Redbridge Ltd.; THAT, so as to reverse the unfortunate historical injustice that had occasioned disinheriting of the local community of the said parcel, the Chenze Ranching Cooperative Society Ltd. filed a case with the National Land Commission (NLC) in 2015; THAT, preliminary findings by the National Land Commission revealed that all pre- requisite formalities pursued by the Chenze Ranching Cooperative Society since 1968 clearly indicated that the land rightfully ought to be registered in favour of the Chenze Ranching Cooperative Society as the owners and that the Land Registrar should revoke the title to LR. 19198 ; THAT, the National Land Commission declared LR. No 24030 in the name of the Redbridge Farm and purportedly in Kwale County is a parcel in Karen, Nairobi County and further declared that the illegal entry in Mombasa Registry be forthwith expunged; THAT, the National Land Commission declared that LR. No. 19128 should revert to the County Government of Kwale who were directed to start registration of the rightful owners of the parcel and further reserve space for public utilities and markets; THAT, officials of the Chenze Ranching Cooperative Society Ltd. later discovered in 2019 that the then Vice-Chairperson of National Land Commission, Ms. Abigael Mbagaya Mukolwe, reneged on the commission’s minuted resolutions and purported to award the Redbridge Farm Ltd. as the legal owner of the Chenze Ranch under unclear circumstances in breach of the constitutional mandate of the National Land Commission; THAT, if this injustice is not reversed, members of the Chenze Cooperative Society Ltd. stand the risk of being disinherited of Chenze Ranch and subjected to permanent loss of livelihoods; THAT, the petitioners have sought justice from various Government agencies such as the County Commissioner, the County Government of Kwale and the National Land Commission in futility; THAT, none of the issues raised in this petition is pending in any court of law, constitutional or judicial body.
