Mitu-Bell Welfare Society v Kenya Airports Authority & 2 others; Initiative for Strategic Litigation in Africa (Amicus Curiae) (Petition 3 of 2018) [2021] KESC 34 (KLR) [1]was a landmark decision by the Supreme Court of Kenya that dealt with the issue of forced evictions and the right to housing.

The case arose from the eviction of over 3,000 families from Mitumba Village, a settlement located near Wilson Airport in Nairobi.

The Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) owned the land on which Mitumba Village was located, but the residents had been living there for over 19 years.

The eviction was carried out by the Kenya Airports Authority, despite the fact that Mitu-Bell society on behalf of the residents had obtained conservatory orders from the High Court to prevent it.

[4] As a relief, the Court ordered the Kenya Airports Authority to pay compensation to the Mitu-Bell Welfare Society and to provide them with alternative land on which to rebuild their homes.
