The government’s plan to establish a major affordable housing development at Kanduyi Airstrip in Bungoma has suffered a major setback after a court nullified the project and ordered the restoration of the disputed public land.
The Environment and Land Court in Bungoma ruled that the proposed Kanduyi Airstrip Smart City Affordable Housing Project was unconstitutional and unlawful, citing failures to comply with legal requirements governing public land, environmental protection and public participation.
In the judgment delivered virtually on October 8, 2026, Justice K. Bor directed the respondents to restore the land to its original state within 45 days, with all restoration expenses to be met by the parties held responsible.
