Kisauni Mp Ali Mbogo has vowed to help residents of Kishada in a land tussle between the community and a family over the ownership of the Kishada playing ground.

The family wants back the ground claiming it's ownership while the community claim the ground is a community ground as it is under the Wakf commission.

The family has since gone to court to sue locals including a coach of the local football team Kishada FC Athman Shee.

Mbogo who visited the ground on Monday evening vowed to support the community.

"Some of us grew here, we played on this ground since we were young so for someone to now come out and claim ownership of the ground is unacceptable" said Mbogo.

Adding "This ground is currently under Wakf commission  and I was at their offices today morning, they promised to get back to me with the right answer concerning it's ownership which we will also use in our defence in court".

Mbogo who was accompanied by former area Mp Annaia Mwaboza who is also part of the legal team called on the community especially the local football team to continue using the ground since there is no court order to stop them from using it.

Mbogo argued "Do not be afraid or feel intimated now that they have gone to court. The law protects us all, so continue using the ground as we gather our evidence for our defence team which will face them in court".

"The lawyer told me we need kshs 300,000 for this but we can just give him kshs 100,000 for a start and today I have come with the money (kshs 100,000) and i will hand it over to the lawyer to start his work" he added.

On his part Annania Mwaboza also vowed to support the locals in the tussle.

"I also played on this ground during my days, so this case is personal and as a former Mp and lawyer I will work closely with the defense team to win this war" said Mwaboza.
