An American lawyer is embroiled in a court tussle with a Kenya Church over ownership of a multi-billion shilling property located in Nakuru County. Lawyer Diane Quadrabaeum Hamrick and the United Methodist Church are both claiming ownership of the United Methodist Mission School and other propertied situated in Lanet area on the outskirts of Nakuru town.
The United Methodist Church told the Court that it acquired land and built the school and other facilities in 2006.
The secretary to the United Methodist Church-Kenya, Rev Carol Alois Ososo testifying before the Nakuru Land and Environment Court said that they acquired two parcels of land and constructed a two-storey building and started a school.
He further revealed that the Church also purchased another three acres at Ng’ata, Nakuru on which they built a church.
“United Methodist Church of Kenya acquired two parcels of land where development plans were made and construction begun,” Rev Ososo said, adding that the land did not belong to Ms Hamrick, adding that the church owns the land where the school, an orphanage, a hospital and the church stand.
According to him, the Church bought the two pieces of land between 2006 and 2009 where Rev Josam Kariuki started running the school immediately it was established before Rev Daniel Wanjau to take over after appointment by the Board of Management.
The lawyer however has maintained that she is the rightful owner of the institution and says that she bought the 10.5 acres and built the school.
Ms Hamrick, who is the chairperson of American NGO Partners in Child and Family Support, accused the Church of dispossessing the property from her, after she helped the church raise Sh2.5 million through her NGO to buy the property and set up the buildings, but not to own them.
The case will be heard on June 30.

Ni Nini ama Nani ilikutoa Ukristo?
@GUEST 1.
Nilipotumia akili yangu niliona ya kwamba biblia iliandikwa na binadamu wenzangu wabaya na pia waongo.
Ni kitabu kinachoonyesha mila ya wayahudi na pia kilichoandikwa zaidi ya miaka elfu mbili iliyopita. Mimi si myahudi.
Pili, korani ni kitabu kinachoonyesha mila ya waarabu. Mimi si mwarabu kwa hiyo siwezi kuwa mwislamu.
Tatu, mungu wa kambo si mungu wako! Kama,vile Waswahili wanavyosema, " baba wa kambo si baba."
Nne, wakrsto na waarabu waliwauza wafrika kwenye utumwa. Na hata sasa, wakristo na waislamu wangali wabaguzi wa rangi.
Tano, dini hizi mbili ni za majambazi na wezi. Tazama jinsi wana Yuropa wakristo walivyowaua wenye nchi wa Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Marekani, Mexico, na nchi zote za Marekani ya kati na kusini na visiwa vyote vya Caribbean na Pacific na kuchukua nchi za wenyewe. Kwa hiyo, dini ya wakristo ni dini ya waongo, wezi, maharamia na pia wauaji.
Mimi siwezi kuwa mfuasi ya dini mbaya kama hii. Kama huniamini soma biblia agano la kale na pia agano jipya kwa makini. Baada ya kufanya hivyo ndugu yangu, hutakuwa mkristo tena.
MUNGU nimwaminiye ni YULE Nyumba Mbingu na Dunia; na Vyote Vilivyomo. Amen!!!
Nilipokuwa mkristo niliimba wimbo huu:
" Sina tamaa ya mali
Mali ya ulimwengu
Mimi ni tajiri kweli
Ni mridhi wa mungu."
Kwa nini mwanasheria anahusika na makanisa na mambo ya mashamba? Si biblia inasema maskini ndio watakaoingia mbinguni!
