David Nyambasa Nyandoro is in deeper trouble.
He’s accused of transferring a KSh 1 billion property despite a court order stopping the move.
The land, Dari Business Park in Karen, belongs to former Cabinet Secretary Raphael Tuju.
A court banned any sale or transfer of the property in April 2024. The ban was renewed in November 2024 and again in February 2025.
But the transfer still happened.
Senator Okiya Omtatah says Nyandoro ignored the court order. He now wants the Court of Appeal to admit new evidence that proves it.
Nyandoro’s appointment as Chief Land Registrar was already nullified by the Employment and Labour Relations Court in May 2024.
The court had ordered the Lands Ministry to appoint Peter Mburu Ng’ang’a instead.
But Nyandoro went back to court. The Attorney General supported him. In July 2024, the Court of Appeal gave him a temporary stay. He kept the job while the case continued.
Now Omtatah wants that stay lifted. He says Nyandoro is unfit for office. He calls him a dishonest officer who disrespects court orders.
Why was the court order ignored?
Omtatah says officials at Ardhi House claimed the order wasn’t “registrable.” They said it didn’t name the Chief Land Registrar directly.
Is that a valid reason?
Omtatah says no. He insists Nyandoro had a legal duty to obey any valid court order served on the Ministry.
He accuses Nyandoro of working with corrupt cartels to steal land.
The Dari land was worth KSh 590 million in 2014. Nyandoro reportedly tried to transfer it in December 2024 for just KSh 420 million. Today, it’s valued at KSh 1 billion.
Who benefits from such a deal?
Why would a senior government official help sell prime land far below market value?
Nyandoro didn’t qualify for the job. He never passed the recruitment process. The Public Service Commission picked Peter Mburu.
Then something strange happened.
A secret National Intelligence Service report blocked Mburu’s appointment. No one has explained why.
Nyandoro was reinstated instead. Many believe he’s being used by people with powerful interests in the land.
Who are these people?
Why is the NIS report still hidden?
Why does a man declared unfit by the court remain in charge of land worth billions?
You deserve answers.
And so does the country.
