St Michael's Primary School loses 10.6 acres of land in legal battle with businessman

https://nation.africa/ St Michael's Primary School in Bomet, a government institution, has lost 10.6 acres of land in a legal battle with businessman Bernard Mutai, a former Bomet gubernatorial candidate. The High Court ordered the school to vacate the land within 45 days from September 26, 2024 and pay Sh2 million in damages to Bomet Technical Institute, trading as Lomu Investments, for illegally occupying the property. The case stems from a lawsuit filed by Mr Mutai, who, as a director of Lomu Investments, sought to evict the school. The company was allocated the land by the Commissioner of Lands in 1995. The school, established in 2012, was built with government funds, with the Teachers Service Commission (TSC) providing staff and financial support from the Ministry of Education.
