Without being insensitive to all the investors who were duped or greedy or who acted in good faith, Orengo challenged anyone with a genuine title deed to defend it. All are allocations from Mavoko. The corruption netwrk is wide and deep around Syokimau. What the investors should have done was go to court when the warnings started appearing in the press and get an injuction against the govt/KAA/ agents not to interfere with their peace.

My guess is that people financed their constructions through "Salary Loans". Here, your salary becomes your guarantee and the bank has little interest on the ownership of the land on which you wish to build. Alternatively, they could also have used Co-Op loans from their places of employment... There are many ways of financing housing without having to "hung" your title deed. Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

Not true: money always changes hands when a slum is being developed. Local Chiefs and DOs collect a lot of money from the "Developers". I watched as Mukuru was enlarged to fill the space between Hazina estate and Hazina Shopping Complex. This happened immediately after a new Chief's office was erected in that area. The Chief was collecting 50k per plot to look the other way... Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

What did the govt do to syokimauans?
Wacha akunywe tu ,Kuna mvua and the ground is soft , digging 6 feet down sio gumu.
YES: In a heated family argument a few years ago, my younger brother threatened to eat rat poison if he didn't get his way. I dared him to eat it - even brought some out and put it on the table! He cowed and retreated from the threat... Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.

Very true @mukiha, in our neighbourhood at Kibbra that's exactly what happens, the chief, party chairmen, police and local youth leaders always charge before any structure can be erected in these slum areas!!! ..."Wewe ni mtu mdogo sana....na mwenye amekuandika pia ni mtu mdogo sana!".

KAA was run by corrupt muhoho for many years. It would not surprise me if he had a hand in these fake allocations. The 'new' KAA might look at it differently... Greedy when others are fearful. Very fearful when others are greedy - to paraphrase Warren Buffett

"Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves." - Abraham Lincoln The assumption that slum dwellers "own" the houses they live in is wrong. The structures belong to slum lords who don't live there. The land belongs to some GoK organnisation (Kibera - KR; Mukuru - KR, KPLC, KPC; etc) The residents are mostly tenants. When a slum is demolished, the residents lose only movable household property; and most of the time, they rescue it before the bulldozer starts Nothing is real unless it can be named; nothing has value unless it can be sold; money is worthless unless you spend it.
