Gardner without permission from the relevant authorities in January of 2021<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<ul>\n<li>On January 22, 2021, the DCA served Mr. Gardner an Enforcement Notice instructing the owner\/occupier to cease construction immediately.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Mr. Kimani Z. Gardner was advised to seek written permission from the Lands Division to occupy the Crown land and to prepare a plan for the structure to be approved by the DCA.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<ul>\n<li>Mr. Kimani Z. Gardner was granted a one (1) year permit by the Chief Lands Officer, Mr. Shaun George to occupy the said Crown land from March 2021 to March 2022, for the sole purpose of selling fruits and vegetables from the farm he operated utilizing a 10&#215;10 structure..<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<ul>\n<li>The permit from the Chief Lands Officer, Mr. Shaun George advised Mr. Kimani Z.
