The guys buying houses there are investing in wind

The original owners of nairobi were the maasais to the south/kajiado, kambas to the east/syokimau/kangundo rd and kikuyus to the north west/kiambu/thika.muthaiga/karen/dagoreti. The colonial govt then appropriated the land to themselves then they allocated the land to settlers from Britain. These settlers then sold under the swinnerton plan in the 1950s and the little that remained govt land was appropriated by kenyatta, moi and kibaki govts.

Ministry of agric has as much rights to the land as the original african tribal owners so they should be pliable to discussions and let the current owners live in peace.

@jamplu..true..almost all upper hill land belonged to kenya railways but is now in the hands of embassies, international corporates and rich individuals. Before railways owned the land, it belonged to native kenyans.

How i wish the same logic was applied to Syokimau

if am not wrong there's number of years that if you allowed a squatter on your land you can't easily evict them and they may assume ownership?? i think it falls under Adverse Possession ...
