Happy Mazingira Day 🌍
While we share beautiful pictures of our landscapes, a battle is raging for their very existence.
The Kajiado County Government has just unearthed a brazen and massive land fraud scheme valued at over Sh100 billion. Here are the shocking details:
🌳 WHAT HAPPENED: Over 2,600 acres of community land in Kibiko, belonging to the Ilkeekonyokie community, were illegally subdivided.
📜 THE METHOD: Senior officials at Ardhi House are accused of fraudulently processing and backdating title deeds to defy a direct Court of Appeal order that had stopped all dealings on the land.
👥 THE VICTIMS: The rightful community owners are being disinherited, with the fraudulent titles intended for non-community members and private companies.
But this isn't an isolated incident. The Kajiado Lands CECM, Hamilton Parseina, explicitly linked this to a wider pattern of "land atrocities" across the county, including the grabbing of Ololua Forest and parts of the Ngong Hills.
This is the exact theme exposed by Africa Uncensored in their 'Greed vs. Green' documentary. It's a calculated war waged by powerful, connected individuals against our environment and our communities. The county confirms that no environmental assessments, zoning compliance, or planning approvals were ever sought for this illegal subdivision.
As we commemorate Mazingira Day, we must recognize that protecting our environment also means fighting the corruption that enables its destruction. A title deed must be a sacred document, not a tool for fraud.
We must demand immediate action and accountability from the Ministry of Lands and the EACC.
What are your thoughts on this blatant impunity?
