I agree but its so easy to doctor this land documents...just rope in the land officials and you can even sell a parcel a couple of times...but this as someone suggested was/is grabbed land its like the buildings at rongai,most are on the road reserve and one day they will def be brought down...no one to blame here at times people do things with the assumption they can get away with it...
this are the things that should be changed,the other case is compulsory aquisition... Haven't you seen a road costing millions being constructed then the next day watu wa Kenya power come to dig up the road the next day to lay cables? Its a bad habit that should stop. Let all stakeholders ensure that when a citizen buys land they ensure that all checks are done at point of purchase. Just coz you can compensate doesn't mean that you should just bandy compulsory acquisition around. Look at the KAA issue. People bought land and they built serious houses then you come and demolish them. Yet those same houses took years to build.
In advanced jurisprudential regimes compulsory acquisition has been developed and its not what our state organs are practising.
In New Zealand, US, the UK Canada etc compulsory acquisition has evolved to a system where the Government has first to give an account of why it is necessary to acquire the land.
Am building a road. So? You couldn't see that 20 years back and reserve that land?
poor planning and disregard of proprietary and human rights....
