Raila's Company, Uhuru's Family Land Invaded During Protests [VIDEO]

A group of unknown youth were on Monday, March 27 spotted invading a piece of land belonging to the family of former President Uhuru Kenyatta along the Eastern Bypass.

The individuals were reported to have gained access to the land by breaching the fence from the Kamakis side through the bypass.

In addition, the youth were reported to have carried sheep away from the land with videos showing a number of them, armed with power saws, cutting down the trees planted on the property.

The invasion which was staged on Northlands from the Eastern Bypass side near Kamakis saw the unknown individuals ferrying the sheep using motorcycles while others carried them on their shoulders as they hurriedly exited the area.

The goons also allegedly set the firm on fire but the motive behind the invasion was yet to be established.

Reports indicated that the individuals had accessed the land in the morning hours, land which is part of Kenyatta's family project aiming to establish Northlands City estimated to cost Ksh500 billion. Once completed, the real estate project was expected to have a population of over 250,000 people. 

The project allocated 3,750 acres of the Northerland City for housing, 695 acres for an industrial park, 390 acres for a business district, and 1,697 acres for open recreational space.

The low-density area of the project would include 601 villas and 1,320 townhouses, while the medium-density area would include 670 townhouses and 368 housing units in blocks of flats. Part of it would also be set aside for wildlife conservation and agricultural properties.

The land had been occupied by Kenyatta's dairy processor Brookside, and the family’s livestock-rearing business.

Narok Senator Ledama Olekina earlier claimed goons had been hired to invade the land and subdivide it among themselves, further alleging that the invasion of the Kenyatta family property is a move by the government to push Azimio from holding protests.
