The Kenya Railways Corporation has dismissed allegations by Wiper Party leader Kalonzo Musyoka and his People's Liberation Party counterpart Martha Karua that it illegally sold part of the land it gave to its former employees as compensation.
In a statement on Friday, March 14, the Corporation accused the two leaders of making false claims that it grabbed the parcel of land at Valley Road in Nairobi and forcefully evicted the retirees.
While addressing the matter, Kenya Railways termed Kalonzo and Karua's sentiments as misleading and clarified that the protested land was the property of Kenya Railways. "We refer to the press statement by Kalonzo Musyoka, Leader of the Wiper Party, and Martha Karua, Leader of the People's Liberation Party, where they alleged land grabbing, illegal evictions, and purported sale of a parcel of land on Valley Road, Nairobi," Kenya Railways stated.
