Prominent City Lawyer Mwenda Njagi has made good his threats and sued tycoon Mr. Maina Wandere of Wanderjoy Party World Ltd, The Attorney General, The Director of Public Prosecution and Nairobi City County [interested party] where he is demanding a tune of Sh10,000,000 on behalf of a famous Kiambu Road business magnet and veteran founding Democratic Mr. Kamau Ruhangi who was wronged prosecuted and exploited within the Judiciary system.
In court papers that are in our possession Mr. Ruhangi through Mwenda Njagi and co.advocates accuses Wanderjoy Party World of misuse of power, abuse of due process and perverting the Police to settle personal business scores which is against the law.
The Suit comes barely a month after Lawyer Mwenda wrote the parties involves a demand letter explaining his intentions to sue.
In court papers, Lawyer Mwenda Njagi has said on behalf of his client that Mr. Maina Wandere caused his arrest, detention and charging at Milimani Law Courts before Hon. Mutuku (CM), for the offence of malicious damage to property.
Njagi further asserts that during the criminal hearing the defence counsel he urged the court to visit the site of the offence by the respondent strongly objected.
During the trial where Njagi’s client had been charged, he demonstrated the suit property was Mr.Ruhangis’ and the alleged destroyed fence was actually developed and owned by the accused and after a protracted lengthy, expensive and mind anguishing trial Mr. Ruhangi was acquitted by the criminal court.
In the current suit against the repondent at the Milimani Courts, Mwenda has placed every cat out of the basket and the respondents risk partying with millions.
The court has been informed that Mr. Ruhangi had initially lodged a compliant aganist Mr. Wandere at DCI Pangani but the Investigating Officer [I.O] who had conduct of the file was unceremoniously transferred by the former DCI boss Amb.Ndegwa Muhoro.
The file was thereafter, placed under lock and key at the former DCI boss safe!
Mr. Ruhangi was quickly charged for malicious destruction to property yet he was the initial complainant against Mr. Wandere for offence of trespassing and conversion on his Ridgeways’ 2 acres prime land worth Sh 1 Billion Only.
Mr. Ruhangi in relentless pursuit of justice filed a complaint against Wanderjoy Party World Ltd and Nairobi City County (NCC) at National Land Commission (NLC) via Mwenda Njagi Advocates.
During the NLC hearings Wanderjoy Party World Ltd via P.M Kamaara Advocates alleged they had a 25 years Temporary Occupational License (T.O.L) issued by former Governor Evans Kidero as their claim to the suit land.
Mr. Ruhangi produced his Title on suit land, and exhibited the land is charged at Paramount Bank to a tune of Ksh 65 Million Only.
NLC in its ruling stated the (T.o.L) is illegal as NCC cannot issue a lease on a private property. You cannot issue a lease on a property you do not own!
NCC was ordered to cancel the T.o.L, evict Wanderjoy Party World Ltd and grant Mr. Ruhangi vacant possession.
To date, the NLC ruling has never been acted upon due to the influence of the State House events organiser. Indeed he runs a hotel within DCI Headquarters Offices which shows the deep connections Wanderjoy Party World Ltd yields!
Mr. Ruhangi subsequently moved to Milimani High Court Environment and Land Division via his no-no see Mwenda Njagi Advocate seeking enforcement of the NLC ruling and other prayers.
It was after this ELC Case, Mr. Ruhangi was quickly charged in a criminal court to arm-twist him to drop his recovery of the land cases. Hopefully the Kenya Kwanza administration will correct this past land injustice and many other public interest land cases.
As the Suit takes a new twist, we shall keep you tested.
