David Nyambasa Nyandoro has crossed the line.
He didn’t just break the law. He spat on a court order. Then rushed to transfer land worth KSh 1 billion behind the judiciary’s back.
The property belongs to former Cabinet Secretary Raphael Tuju. It’s a prime parcel in Nairobi’s Karen area — Dari Business Park.
It’s at the center of a court battle involving Tuju, East African Development Bank, and Garam Investments Auctioneers. In April 2024, the court issued an ironclad injunction. No one was to touch that land. Not sell it. Not transfer it. Not even think about it.
Nyandoro transferred it anyway.
He did this as acting Chief Land Registrar — a job he wasn’t even supposed to hold.
In May 2024, the Employment and Labour Relations Court nullified his appointment. The Public Service Commission had already picked another man — Peter Mburu Ng’ang’a. But Nyandoro clung to power.
He ran to the Court of Appeal. With the backing of the Attorney General, he got a temporary stay in July 2024. That’s how he stayed in office. Not by merit. Not by law. By force and favour.
Then he used that power to transfer land under court protection.
Senator Okiya Omtatah has now dragged him back to court. He wants fresh evidence admitted in the appeal. The new affidavit shows exactly how Nyandoro violated the law, ignored the court, and betrayed the public.
Let’s be clear.
The court order was served.
The Ministry of Lands received it.
But Ardhi House officials told lawyers that the order was “not registrable” — just because it didn’t mention Nyandoro by name. That’s a lie. Omtatah calls it a deliberate distortion of the law.
Nyandoro had a legal obligation to honour valid court orders.
He didn’t.
Instead, he moved a property that was worth KSh 590 million in 2014. He tried to sell it in December 2024 for KSh 420 million. The current valuation? Over KSh 1 billion.
Who was he trying to help?
Why the rush to sell land at a throwaway price?
And what kind of Chief Land Registrar ignores a judge’s ruling to serve political or commercial interests?
Let’s not forget — Nyandoro never won the job.
He didn’t pass the recruitment process. The PSC picked Mburu.
Then a mysterious NIS report surfaced. It claimed Mburu had a past problem. But no one has seen this report. No one knows what Mburu did wrong. The file has been buried.
Why?
And who’s protecting Nyandoro?
Senator Omtatah now wants the Court of Appeal to stop pretending this man is neutral. He says Nyandoro is a weapon — being used by land cartels, corrupt politicians, and faceless power brokers.
Nyandoro’s record speaks for itself.
He violated court orders.
He transferred protected land.
He’s clinging to a position he wasn’t qualified for.
He answers to no law, no ethics, and no public interest.
And yet — he remains in office.
How long will this go on?
How long will the Ministry of Lands act as a playground for criminals in suits?
And how many more court orders will Nyandoro trample before someone finally kicks him out?
The Judiciary did its part.
The PSC did its part.
Now the rest is up to you.
Will you stay silent as thugs loot public land with help from government insiders?
Or will you demand that Nyandoro — and those shielding him — be thrown out, investigated, and prosecuted?
Because if this is allowed to continue, no court order in Kenya will mean anything.
Not yours. Not mine. Not anyone’s.
