Mombasa tycoon Mohamed Jaffer has secured a major legal victory after the Environment and Land Court ordered the Kenya National Highways Authority KeNHA and the National Land Commission NLC to compensate him for land taken during the expansion of the Mombasa-Nairobi highway.
The ruling, delivered on November 26, offers a rare reprieve for Jaffer, whose influence in Kenyas port logistics sector has recently faced challenges from rivals and political figures. The case, insiders say, underscores growing tensions in the coastal business community, where competition for control over trade and transport assets has intensified.
