Mama Ngina Sues Gov’t Officials Over Taita Taveta Land
Mama Ngina Kenyatta, the ex-First Lady, has taken legal action to urge the Land Registrar to provide her with a title deed for a 1,000-hectare piece of land situated in Taita Taveta County.
Legal papers submitted to the Milimani High Court, which PoliticalPulseChat acquired, reveal that Mama Ngina and former Taveta MP Basil Criticos claim joint ownership of the land.
The pair, who included Attorney General Justin Muturi as one of the respondents, also mentioned that they had not received the title deed despite being the rightful owners of the land.
Moreover, they both stated that only the Land Registrar can explain their rejection of the title deed.
“In breach of his said statutory obligation or duty, the 1st Respondent has to date failed to issue to the applicants (former First Lady and the MP) the said Certificate of Title about the said parcel of land L.R No. 10287/7 Taveta.

“The said breach or failure by the 1st respondent (the Chief Land Registrar) denies the applicants the statutory right to have or hold the said Certificate of Title as evidence of proprietorship of their said parcel of land,” read the court documents in part.
The duo wanted the matter certified as urgent.
As a result, Justice John Chigiti’s orders certified the issue as pressing, requiring Mama Ngina and the ex-MP to submit a significant motion within 14 days.
Muturi and the Land Registrar were instructed to submit their replies within 14 days after receiving notification from the applicants.
“The Applicants shall thereafter file and serve their submissions within 14 days. The Respondents shall thereafter file and serve their submissions within 14 days of service.
“The matter shall be mentioned on March 5, 2024, to report compliance,” read the orders in part.
