Local leaders have joined the fray, backing claims that the three prime parcels should revert to residents. Some local leaders have supported the locals in their invasion of the Prisons land, saying it was their ancestral land. The Prisons service has vowed to evict the squatters, describing the invasion as illegal. “There is no way squatters and local leaders can claim ownership of the private property, which has already been secured. The two parcels have been protected and belong to the Prisons service,” said County Prisons Commander Nicholas Maswai in an interview.
