Ngong Forest, which was gazetted in 1932, is recognised by the government as a sanctuary and is watched by armed guards round the clock. Kabiria-ini benefited from 145 acres through Proclamation 15 of 1951 and the War Memorial cemetery got 11.06 acres through Proclamation 46, of 1965. The water tower plays a crucial role in Kenya’s well-being, river health and availability of water. It called for revocation of 207 land ownership documents within the Ngong Forest alone. The revoked titles included eight belonging to Tairo Investment Limited and obtained on October 1, 1996.
