A piece of land Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) donated to settle street families 13 years ago has been grabbled.
The company donated a parcel of land L.R No.209/11325 on August 23, 2007, and surrendered the title deed to the Commissioner of Lands for purposes of transferring and registering the property in the name of Street Families Rehabilitation Trust Fund.
The KPC handed over the land in Nairobi’s Mukuru kwa Njenga Slums to settle street families.
“However, review of the matter during the month of January 2021, thirteen years after the donation, revealed that the transfer has not been effected and the land in Mukuru kwa Njenga slum has since been encroached upon by members of the public,” said Nancy Gathungu, Auditor-General, in a report.
She also raised the red flag on other lands in Embu, Murang’a, Laikipia and Mavoko, which had not been transferred to the Street Families Trust Fund.
Whoever stole the land should be hanged by the balls.
