Nairobi County government has issued a repossession notice to 109 land owners across the city.
In a notice dated Saturday, December 14, Nairobi Governor Johnson Sakaja's administration detailed that the affected parcels of land had either been underdeveloped or had pending land rates.
The county government added that the land owners had contravened various county laws, hence the repossession notice.
The listed parcels of land are located in Kayole, Mathare North and Umoja 1.

"It has come to the attention of the Nairobi City County Government that several plots in County Site and Service Schemes remain undeveloped and heavily indebted with respect to plot dues.
This is despite the fact that these plots were allocated in the 1980s under clear terms and conditions of the offer which, among other things required the allottees to develop their plots within 24 months of the offer and pay all requisite plot dues," read the notice in part.
Consequently, those with pending land rates were given a 30-day notice to pay the outstanding fees.
Meanwhile, those with underdeveloped parcels were instructed to commence various development projects within 6 months.
"Failure to pay up for and develop the plots as advised herein will lead to repossession of the plots by the County government and re-allocation of the same to other deserving individuals without any further reference to the current defaulting owners," read the notice in part.
"Finally, allottees are notified that all plot dues arrears are already captured in the Nairobi County Systems and shall remain outstanding until the same is fully paid."
