Ex-PC Chelogoi Found Guilty in Sh1.35 Billion Land Fraud Case

Former Nairobi Provincial Commissioner Davis Nathan Chelogoi has been convicted on five counts of defrauding businessman Ashok Shah of a 7.39-hectare parcel of land in Lower Kabete, Nairobi, valued at Sh1.35 billion.

The court found that Chelogoi's claim of being allocated the land by former President Daniel arap Moi in 1995 was not supported by historical records. The prosecution presented testimony from 19 witnesses, including land surveyors and registry officials, which contradicted Chelogoi's account.

Case Details

• The land was purchased by Ashok Shah and Hitenkumar Amritlal Raja for Sh33 million in 2007.
• Their ownership was upheld by the Environment and Land Court in 2022 and affirmed by the Court of Appeal.
