Dispute over ownership of the 275 acres of land between Kiambu Dandora farmers company and residents has intensified in Mowlem Ward, Nairobi. Residents of Kwa Maji area on Wednesday night held demonstrations to protest against demolitions of their houses by a private developer. According to the residents, they were ambushed at midnight without any prior notice of the demolitions. Mowlem MCA Benson Mwangi who condemned the demolitions told the Star that there was an ongoing court case over the land. In September 2019, a witness claimed that 818 acres belonging to Kiambu Dandora Farmers Company gazetted for urban development was allocated to senior government officials.
