Regarding Mama Nginas LAST WILL AND TESTAMENT

It is said that in 1978 when Jomo Kenyatta exited, there was no LAND registered in his name at the .ke land registry.

Almost all of it was in Mama Nginas name.

This means that when people say “zile mashamba Jomo alinyakua” etc some unverified estimates have claimed the Kenyatta land ownership is equivalent to size of Nyanza province. That land is in Mama Nginas name.

Whatever the size, we want it back !!!

Now, Mama Ngina is X yrs old and god forebid she may be called to be with the lord at some point in the future.

The Jomo Kenyatta progeny has grow and now consists of 40 - 50 adults who can lay claim to the Jomo LAND loot.

So, Kenyans have an interest in how Mama Ngina will gawanisha the Jomo LAND loot.

Is there a legal mechanism to like put a caveat on ALL LAND identified as Jomo grabbed land currenty under the name of Mama Ngina. So that no transactions can be done with the entire Jomo LAND loot without the knowledge of wanjiku.

Or it can be done through challenging her will ?

90% of that land which is sitting idle needs to be repossessed. The Jomo Kenyatta progeny should be left with what they use or have developed

Ng’ang’ana utafute yako. Wachana na mali ya wenyewe.

Sadly OP, attitudes like this one are the reason such initiatives can never happen.

Attitudes gani hizo, ebu fafanua.

You seem to not know much about land in .ke. try read Ndungu land report and the list of land claims filed with NLC.

The land owned by the Kenyattas and many others who got land when Joseph Murumbi (first VP) and Ochieng Oneko resigned in disgust is Unjustly acquired LAND.

That concern for historical injustices amounts to jealousy.

Am very concerned

Thats an extreamly stupid statement. It means you are not knowledgeable enough to comment on .ke land issues.
Am done responding to you comments.

During runup to independence, some of the
settlers said they will not live in .ke under nyeuthi rule.
It was decided that the land they owned be baought back from them useing british government and WB loans.
The land was supposed to be redistributed to those that were originally displaced by the settlers. So the money came and thr 1000s of acrea were baought. Kenyatta took the biggest part for himself and dished out the rest to his cronies. Non of the originally displaced got any land and the Kenyan public repaid the loans that were used to buy it.

Zimbabwe pia walisema wapewe.

Land reforms in the early 2000s were meant to readdress colonial legacies, but elite citizens ended up benefitting more.

Zimbabwe has begun repossessing idle land from Black farmers who benefitted from controversial land reforms two decades ago, according to its Agriculture Minister Anxious Masuka.
People whose farmland is lying unused and those who own multiple farms will lose land, he said on Wednesday. The plots will then be reallocated to aspiring farmers from a waiting list left from earlier rounds of land reform processes.
“Zimbabwe has a finite geographic space,” Masuka said. “We have allocated 99 percent of the land, and the land that I am currently allocating to those on the waiting list is land that I am taking from Blacks, allocating to Blacks.”

If you visit Western Kenya, you will find very large tracts of land in Kisii untouched ati juu ya urogi.

Ukienda Nyanza you will find land the size of whole districts adjacent to that massive lake with ZERO development.

Ukienda huko Sondu Miriu kwa akina @Jimit you will find virgin forests adjacent to the massive River Sondu. The greenest place on earth.

Yet all the young people from these regions are busy in Nairobi complaining ati hakuna kazi. Sijui Uhuru owns too much land. Ona Khalwale hapo.

Here is a short story ran by Internationally recognized Human Rights Activist[I] Boniface Mwangi[/I]
Documents in my possession show how Kenyatta and members of his extended family embarked on a land-grabbing spree after independence.
The documents which cover 1974 to 1977 include letters from the then Lands Minister Mr Angaine, Chief Land Valuer Mr. Dermott Kydd, British Ministry of Overseas Development, and the victims’ testimonies.
They also show Kenyatta’s love for free things with one letter claiming he ordered dairy cows from a farm in Molo to be driven to his Gatundu farm.
Of interest was the Sukari ranch which was described as ” 30,000 acres extending from Nairobi City boundaries in the general direction of Ruiru, Kahawa, and Gatundu.”
Until early 1974 this land was owned by French Scophin Company. However after the owners left, it was earmarked for the future expansion of Nairobi.
A cabinet paper was therefore prepared that the government should buy this land to prevent future speculation. But how this land ended up being Kenyatta’s nobody knew.
The manner in which Kenyatta acquired the land became a subject of some rude remarks by some MPs while Kenyatta was in the chamber during the swearing-in of parliament in 1974.
In the first week of December 1974, James Njenga the Director of Settlement who was the man tasked with buying land for the settlement of Africans using British funds telephoned Mr. Kydd the Chief Valuer and informed him that he should give a site unseen valuation because Kenyatta wanted to sell part of the land to Settlement.
It was very suspicious that Kenyatta wanted to sell the land he had only owned for three months. Secondly he wanted to sell the land to the Settlement which involved the landowners being paid using British funds meant for the settlement of landless Africans.
Mr. Kydd refused Njenga’s request and insisted that he had to see the farm first before offering any valuation. Kydd also queried the feasibility of effecting much settlement on the barren land and poor soil of the ranch. Kenyatta’s intent was to retain the productive part and sell the barren part to the British for the settlement of Africans.
Njenga who was annoyed by the response banged the phone, and Kydd went to report the incident to the Director of Lands Mr O’Loughlin. No sooner had Kydd arrived in Loughlin’s office than Mr Angaine the Minister for Lands telephoned Mr Loughlin demanding that he should order Kydd to give a valuation so that Settlement headed by Njenga could buy Kenyatta’s farm immediately using funds set aside for the settlement of Africans.
Both O’Laughlin and Kydd refused, and it was left that Angaine would speak to Kenyatta about it. The only valuation Kydd could give Angaine was that of 1972 when the farm was owned by Scophin Company which was around sic “K £ 250,000”. Angaine, however, rejected this saying he couldn’t tell Kenyatta that his land was that cheap.
Following the conversation Angaine went to see Kenyatta and subsequently both Kydd and Loughlin were summoned to State House Nairobi on Dec 18, 1974, at 1pm.
Kenyatta refused to shake Kydd’s hand instead barked insults at him asking him why he had given his farm a low value. Kenyatta then turned into a bully twice ordering the two to their cars and back.
After the bullying session Kenyatta ordered Kydd to go to his farm and generate a price for every acre. He demanded that this price had to be arranged in a manner that enabled him to dispose of 20,000 acres of barren/unproductive land to Settlement.
Kydd arrived at the ranch at around 2.30 and found Angaine already waiting for him. Angaine apologized at the way things had happened at State House and said that he had been ordered by Kenyatta to confirm that he (Kydd) had arrived at the farm.
Kydd spent the evening until dark in the ranch and typed his report late in the night.
In Kydd’s, on an estimate, Kenyatta was to make a kill of Kshs 4,000,000 from the 20,000 acres of barren land he was to dispose of. Selling the land acquired in a questionable manner and demanding to be paid using funds set aside for the settlement of the landless Africans was indeed corruption.
But this was not the only case of corruption involving the Kenyatta’s. In January 1977 Ari Grammaticas who owned Governor’s camp and 500 acres of tea plantation in Thika had his farm forcefully taken over by Mama Ngina Kenyatta. Although the farm was valued at Ksh 1000,000 Mama Ngina only paid. Kshs 200,000.
However, Grammaticas who decided to move Switzerland after the take over vowed not to take it lying down. She sued Mama Ngina through a firm owned by Dingle Foot. The involvement of Dingle Foot who was a prominent lawyer forced Mama Ngina to back down, and through her agents she offered to pay Grammaticas more money.
Others mentioned in the forceful and illegal acquisition of land were Kenyatta’s brother James Muigai, his son Peter Kenyatta, grandson Michael Njoroge, his Nephews who included Dr. Njoroge Mungai, Beth Mugo, and many others.
Other huge tracts of land acquired by Kenyatta and his family are also mentioned and details given.

Hekaya za abunuwasi na hadithi nyinginezo. Now tell us about Biwotts 100,000 acres hapo moiben. And mark Toos 100,000 acres hapo next to eldoret airport.

Biwott’s daughter said that she wants nothing, no inheritance from her father.
The minute Biwott was buried, his daughter’s husband abandoned Kerio valley flourspar mining and went back home to Canada.

Saitoti’s wife is always crying about how all her husband’s assets were looted by lawyer ngatia.

Below is a response to that whataboutisim from another forum.

c+p
All those lands you mentioned + other lands owned by white settlers who had title before independence are lands acquired unjustly just like the land Jomo Kenyatta and his cronies grabbed after independence and needs to be repossessed and redistributed or otherwise revert to GOK.

The fact that Jomo Kenyatta had ALL the land he acquired registered in other peoples names means he knew what he was doing was unjust.

Most fools can’t relate the serious problem of landlessness, slums increasing, high cost of land or houses, high cost of rent etc to the obscenely unjust national land distribution.
A handful of people own almost half the country.

Work hard kijana and get yourself some land. Land is being sold daily all over the country. Sio kutangatanga in all online forums posting hii upus ya kumezea mate other peoples property.

Friday February 1, 2013 - When the curtain fell on our beloved founding father Mzee Jomo Kenyatta on August 22[SUP]nd[/SUP] 1978, his son Deputy Prime Minister Uhuru Kenyatta was only 17 years old.

Like many Kenyans, Uhuru had brothers and sisters and his mother Mama Ngina Kenyatta gave them part of their father’s inheritance.

According to the Ndungu Report, Mzee Kenyatta’s land is not registered under the name of Uhuru Kenyatta but it is registered under the name of founding father Mzee Jomo Kenyatta.

According to estimates done by the independent surveyors and Ministry of Lands, Kenyatta’s land may be little or more than 500,000 acres.

The parcel of lands include;

10, 000 acre Gichea Farm in Gatundu.


5, 000 acres in Thika.


9,000 acres in Kasarani Mwiki


5, 000-acre Muthaita Farm.


24, 000 acres in Taveta


50, 000 acres in Taita,


29, 000 acres in Kahawa Sukari along the Nairobi-Thika highway stretching all the way to Kilimambogo Hills in Ukambani.

Others include:

10, 000-acre ranch in Naivasha.,


52,000-acre farm in Nakuru


20,000-acre one, also known as Gichea Farm,

[I]10, 000 acres in Rumuruti,

40,000 acres in Endebes in the Rift Valley Province

Others are:
Brookside Farm, Green Lee Estate,Njagu Farm in Juja, a quarry in Dandora in Nairobi

How the land was acquired:[/I]

When President Jomo Kenyatta was in power for 15 years, the World Bank and the British government funded the Settlement Transfer Fund Scheme under which the Kenyatta family legally acquired large tracts of land all over the country.

Uhuru Kenyatta, who is Jomo’s son, is one of the beneficiaries of the Kenyatta’s, fortunes together with his brothers and sisters.

Mama Ngina Kenyatta, Magana Kenyatta, Uhuru Kenyatta, Christine Wambui, Anna Nyokabi and Muhoho Kenyatta are among the beneficiaries of the late mzee fortunes.

So Uhuru acquired land through inheritance as many Kenyans do.

How many Kenyans have rejected the inheritance of their fathers because he was a thief or a land grabber?

Anzeni na mausoleum, where he lies in state.
Someone changes the suit worn by founding President in readiness for his annual memorials. Iron his shirt, adjust tie, tighten belt, shampoo the fly-whisk, comb his hair, brush the beards, apply some lotion, polish his open shoes, check watch is still working…and some other stuff. There’s a memorial service with the body present at bascillica. 42 years on.
