Residents of the Standard Media Group Sacco in Mavoko Sub-County have petitioned the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to investigate documents from the Machakos County lands office.
They claim these documents have been used to fuel a dispute over a controversial access road, pitting them against their neighbors at Arusha Court.
The residents, some of whom have lived in the gated community since 1997 when the Sacco bought the parcel of land, want the DCI to probe the authenticity of the documents which they suspect are fraudulent and forged.
In a formal complaint addressed to the DCI's head office in Nairobi, the residents of Standard Court (Block 25) allege that questionable land records have been used to justify the creation of a "non-existent" access road through their gated community-an action they claim has caused anguish and unnecessary conflict. "The Machakos Lands Office has insisted on creating a public road through our private estate.
