KSh. 37 Billion Pending Compensation For Evicted Landowners

Evictions

The Kenyan road agencies now owe evicted landowners an accumulated amount of Kshs 37.0 bn after forcefully using the compulsory acquisition clauses available in the law to evict them but defaulting on the payment deadline past the 24-month deadline. 

Official government data shows the Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) is the leading defaulter owing these landowners Ksh 35.0 bn by the end of the first week of March 2023.

The Kenya Rural Urban Authority (Kura) came in second after defaulting Kshs 1.8 bn compensation followed by the Kenya Rural Roads Authority (Kerra) with a due compensation worth Kshs 542.5 bn. 

Kung’u Ndung’u, the KeNHA director general, while addressing MPs, said that the major reason for this delay in payment is a result of budgetary constraints that the authority, KeNHA, has been experiencing for the last few years.

A section of the affected Kenyans is now furious questioning the poor planning of these agencies who invoke the law and forcefully evict them while not holding their end of the deal.

These victims are now arguing that the road agencies should secure funds first before even beginning the eviction bearing in mind the 24-month deadline period. 

However, the authorities endeavor to fully compensate all the affected victims once they have received the budgetary allocations from the Treasury.
