The National Land Commission (NLC) has earmarked 920 parcels of land for two major infrastructure development projects and consequently reached out to the owners to release them to the state.
NLC Chairperson Gerishom Otachi, vide Gazette Notice No 7788 explained that the land would be used for the Construction of the Mombasa Gate Bridge in Mombasa County
Otachi noted that the request was on behalf of the Kenya National Highway Commission (KeNHA) and that the 62 affected landowners would be compensated.
“In pursuance of sections 112 and 162 (2) of the Land Act, 2012, Part VIII and further to Gazette Notice Nos. 12299 of 2021 and15192 of 2022, the National Land Commission on behalf of Kenya National Highways Authority (KeNHA) gives notice that the Inquiry to hear claims to compensation for interested parties in the land required for the construction of the Mombasa Gate Bridge Project in Mombasa County shall be held on the dates and venues shown below,” the notice read in part.
NLC made adjustments to an initial list of parcels of land selected for the project and published those which had been deleted from the list.
The Mombasa Gate Bridge is an elevated highway that will rise above the Indian Ocean, connecting Mombasa Island and the South Coast. It will be the largest in Africa.
