Standoff As Goons Lock CS Wahome Inside a contested Land she had gone to settle : A fracas was witnessed in Loresho, Nairobi County after two armed men temporarily locked Lands Cabinet Secretary Alice Wahome inside a contested Indian’s Ksh1.3 billion prime land.
According to reports the Cabinet Secretary was in Loresho to settle the row regarding prime land initially owned by an Indian but was grabbed by a former Nairobi official.
The Authorities acted swiftly after the lands CS called for immediate action. Within no time, one of the men was arrested and dragged to the gate and asked to open it. However, he complained that he did not have the keys to the padlock.
After noticing no option and the key was nowhere to be seen, he was forced to use a log of wood to break down the lock and free Wahome and others.
Reports indicate that the men are suspected to have been sent by the former Nairobi official who grabbed the land from the foreigners to try and scare off the Lands officials or derail the process.
Wahome then ordered all occupying the land to vacate by noon on Wednesday, March 6. She also directed the Gigiri OCPD Joseph Kioko to oversee the operations and see to it that the land grabbers have vacated.
She stated,”There is no absolutely no reason why there should be any other person on this site other than the two owners of this land. I will ask for an immediate report by the OCPD.”
