Floriculture International Limited sent a letter to the Inspector General of Police on 9 October 2026, requesting that the National Police Service investigate alleged trespass and forcible detainer on Land Reference 7705/2 in Thika Municipality and help secure vacant possession.
The firm says Central Kenya Limited continues to occupy the site despite a High Court judgment dated 14 February 2020 that dismissed Central Kenya’s challenge to the sale and transfer of the land.
Floriculture argues that the 2020 decision confirms its title and the right to quiet enjoyment, and therefore asks police commanders in Kiambu County and Thika to record statements, investigate the alleged trespass and, where appropriate, recommend criminal charges to the Director of Public Prosecutions.
The company also requests police presence to safeguard the property during any lawful recovery, and to prevent further entry, construction, cultivation or removal of items from the disputed land.
Floriculture asks for written confirmation of the police actions within 14 days, citing the Land Act provisions that govern unlawful occupation and eviction.
A tribunal ruling on 5 October 2026 ordered Peter Mwangi and Charity Wanjiku Muiruri to hand over vacant possession of Block 8/264 (Land Reference 7705) to Floriculture and instructed the Ngojiwa Police Station commander to enforce the order.
Earlier, on 23 March 2026, the Environment and Land Court in Thika dismissed a constitutional petition that sought to revisit ownership, labeling the matter res judicata and an abuse of process.
The dispute originates from June 1993 when charges were placed on the property to secure Sh15 million and Sh30 million loans for Katka Islands Limited; after default, the lenders exercised statutory power of sale and transferred the land to Floriculture in May 1995.
Central Kenya Limited challenged the 1995 transaction in Nairobi High Court Civil Suit 3590 of 1995, but Justice Francis Tuiyott dismissed the case in 2020, finding Central Kenya had not proved its allegations and confirming the lenders’ right to sell.
Floriculture notes that it has issued four orders to the Kiambu County security team, but those efforts were undermined by a team member with a personal interest, prompting the appeal to the police for impartial enforcement.
