The East African Portland Cement PLC (EAPC) has announced that it will offer unclaimed plots in Mavoko for sale to the public after the conclusion of its ongoing land regularization exercise.
In a notice issued on July 15, the company said the regularization process for land parcels L.R. No. 8784/144, 8784/145 and 8784/653 will close on July 28, 2026.
“All unclaimed plots shall be offered to the general public for purchase at competitive rates upon the lapse of this notice,” read part of the notice.
The exercise follows an earlier notice published on October 17, 2023, which invited members of the public with claims to plots on the affected land to register their interest within 14 days.

EAPC said individuals who participated in the regularization exercise must pay all outstanding regularization fees by August 15, 2026, to enable the company to proceed with the land titling process.
According to the company, all payments should be made through its consultant, HFCB Properties Limited, using the designated payment channels.
The company warned that claimants who fail to pay the required regularization fees by the deadline will be required to vacate the plots they occupy.
It further stated that any plots that remain unclaimed after the regularization exercise closes will be offered to the general public for purchase at competitive rates.
To facilitate the final phase of the exercise, EAPC said HFCB Properties Limited has established a site office where claimants can obtain information on payments and the completion of the regularization process.

Court Ruling on the Mavoko Land Dispute
The land has been the subject of a long-running dispute between East African Portland Cement PLC (EAPC) and some residents claiming ownership of plots in Mavoko.
In 2025, the Court of Appeal dismissed an application by members of the Mavoko Muundani Residents Association seeking to stop their eviction from the disputed land.
The judges ruled that the applicants had not demonstrated sufficient legal grounds to warrant an injunction pending the hearing of their appeal.

The court also found that the residents had failed to meet the legal threshold for the orders they sought, including proving that their intended appeal was arguable and that denying the injunction would render the appeal ineffective.
“Save for the general contention that the intended appeal is arguable and has chances of success, we are unable to find any arguable ground that faults the learned Judge’s exercise of discretion,” the judges said.
The ruling cleared the way for EAPC to continue with actions relating to the disputed land, including the ongoing regularization exercise and the planned land titling process.
