Kajiado Governor Joseph Ole Lenku revealed on Wednesday, January 1, that there was a scheme to grab land belonging to residents of the county by some rogue land officials before Christmas.
The said land, a 46,000-acre Tarosei group ranch, is based in Lodokilani in Kajiado West Sub-County, the majority of whose majority members have died.
This land has become a focal point due to allegations of attempts by certain corrupt land officials to unlawfully acquire it.
According to Ole Lenku, there was an elaborate plan by the cartels to change ownership of the land whose members had passed away over the years. "A few days ago, after people broke for Christmas holidays, some cartel officials colluding with land officials proceeded to break the law and produce title deeds against the law without subjecting the processes to county approvals," he lamented.
