The Kin family of the first wife of the nation Jomo Kenyatta, is pleading with Cabinet Secretary for Land and Nairobi county government to step in and support them, claiming that private developers have recently taken possession of 49 plots out of 60 in Eastleigh.
In defiance of the family’s injunction against the developers, development is allegedly underway in the allegedly appropriated plots. It is claimed that the new construction started following the retirement of Uhuru Kenyatta, the fourth president.
Now that the developers have threatened the family, telling them not to pursue their legal rights and demanding protection, they are living in fear.
The difficulties they have encountered over the past two years as they have moved from office to office seeking an injunction to stop the development of the plots all in vain were described by Kamau Njoroge Muigai, a Kin to Uhuru Kenyatta.
The developers, who chose not to be on camera, want the plaintiffs to go to court and pursue justice and also add that, they too have legal documents to support the ownership of the plots.
