Nairobi County Members of County Assembly (MCAs) on Wednesday, November 9, staged a demonstration at the Judiciary Parking lot.
MCAs accused the Judiciary of grabbing land that belongs to the Nairobi City County Government.
The contested land is used as a parking lot on weekdays and a Masai market on weekends.
Lawmakers from both Kenya Kwanza and Azimio La Umoja demanded Chief Justice Martha Koome, the president of the Judiciary, to ensure the land is reverted to the county government.
While addressing the media on the ground, the MCAs shared copies of documents which they claimed were sufficient to ascertain their claims.
“This land is a gazetted precinct of the assembly,” asserted Kileleshwa MCA Robert Alai.
The lawmakers demanded to meet with the CJ to present their grievances.
However, upon learning that she was unavailable, they promised to stage more protests at the Supreme Court until they recovered the land.
They also threatened to invite city residents to join in the demonstrations to push the Judiciary to address the matter.
MCAs further vowed to file a case in court seeking legal redress.
Judiciary has not yet addressed the issue.
