French firm Bolloré, Kenya Railways in Changamwe land dispute

A French logistics firm has sued Kenya Railways Corporation over a threat to demolish a wall around its parcel of land in Changamwe, Mombasa.

Bolloré Transport & Logistics Kenya claims that despite clear boundaries as depicted by a map and its ownership in respect to the parcel of land, Kenya Railways is still keen on pulling down the perimeter wall.

Through lawyer Grace Okumu, the company says that unless Kenya Railways is restrained by court from pulling down the perimeter wall, it will suffer irreparable loss and damages.

Bolloré is seeking a declaration that it is the registered, legal or beneficial owner of the parcel of land.

It is also seeking an injunction to restrain Kenya Railways, its servants or agents from pulling down the fence or in any way interfering with the its (company’s) possession of the land.
