The government has moved to repossess land grabbed from two schools in Nairobi and Mombasa Counties while at the same time putting on notice those sitting on public property.

Land and Housing Cabinet Secretary Alice Wahome said measures have been put in place to recover two parcels of land belonging to Nyali Secondary School in Mombasa and Lavington Primary School in Nairobi from private ownership.

For Nyali Secondary School, the CS said the files to establish that the land had been grabbed are ready and that the Ministry is ready to move in and repossess the land, while for Lavington Primary School, documentation is in the last stages and will also move swiftly to recover the land. "I have two cases ready on my desk one on Nyali Secondary in Mombasa, where some private developers have put up buildings on school land.

Let me tell those people who have the title deed for that land that in the coming days, I'm coming to Mombasa to recover that land.
