In the petition for 'Removal of Cloud over Title Deed' Kandakai prayed the court to adjourn Ambassador Boakai liable, by removing the cloud from the twenty-one acres of land from the name Joe Young to Joseph Boakai, and thereafter from Joseph Boakai to Arnold Kandakai. Unfortunately, Kandakai claimed that before the probation of the deed to the land in 1995, he noticed that the title deed carries the name of Joseph Boakai, which makes Boakai a co-owner to his (Kandakai's) property. He said he recognized Boakai's name on the title deed, instead of him alone, while probing the documents for the property. But, since then, Boakai has allegedly refused to transfer the title deed from his (Boakai's) name to him (Kandakai). He also claimed that Boakai has sold portions of the property on which individuals have erected dwelling structures.
