 One such allocation was made to S.K
MACHARIA and JOSEPH GILBERT KIBE. The third allottee was NGENGI MUIGAI. Howeyer, the first two almost immediately sold the
land in question, namely, L.R NO.216/8 KARURA for 550 million
shillings to the KENYA RE-INSURANCE CORPORATION. The sale
was effected notwithstanding the fact that NGENGI MUIGAI had placed a
CAVEAT against the title Seeking to protect his part of the booty in the
land. It should be noted that Messrs. Macharia and Kibe were part of what
was known at the time as entral Province Development Co-ordinating
Group. This coincidence o allocations of public land with the general
elections reinforced the Co mission's conclusion to the effect that public
land was allocated as politic I reward or patronage.

. One such ase is that of the Kenya Food and
Chemical Corporation Limited f Kisumu, commonly known as the
"Molasses Project". This energy aving project was conceived by the
Qovernment in the 1970's and was intended to manufacture gasohol from
sugar cane molasses which was pro uced by the sugar factories in Nyanza
and Western Provinces. Land for th project was compulsorily acquired by
the Government in 1976 at 4 million shillings.
Although hundreds of millions of t x payers' funds were invested in the
project, it stalled in the 1980's and the Company was put under
receivership and remains as such t this day. Land for the project was
offered to the company by a letter o allotment but this was never formally
accepted or paid for and no title was issued. However, in 2001 the
Commissioner of Lands S. S. K. M aita, allocated the land to a company
known as Spectre International imited for 3.7 million shillings or
KShs. 33,000 per hectare. The land measures approximately 112 hectares
and comprises of seven blocks the particulars of which are as follows:
1. L.R No. 26453, area 26.10 ha user, horticultural
2. L.R No. 26454, area 39.00 ha user, industrial
3. L.R No. 26455, area 13.40 ha user, residential
4. L.R No. 26456, area 21.23 user, residential
5. L.R No. 26457, area 3.50 ha, user, recreational
6. L.R No. 26458, area 2.20 ha, user, health clinic
7. L.R No. 26459, area 6.50 ha, user, educational
The direct allocation of alienated Go ernment land to the company by the
Commissioner of Lands was illegal. t was not clear how the Government
then intended, if at all, to revive or se I the project having already allocated
the seven blocks of land to Spectre' International Limited, a private
company.

While Kenya Airports Authority claim to have lost a lot of land, the loss
could have been engineered from within. The matter requires thorough
investigation. In addition, all Airport land across the country should be the
subject matter of serious investigations. To start with, all allocations of
airport land and land along flight paths should be revoked particularly at
JKIA, Moi International Airport (Mombasa), Malindi Airport, Ukunda,
Lamu Airstrip, Lokichogio, Kisumu, Eldoret and Garissa.

This just document the 1996-2001 land grab by Moi regimes folks. 1960s is even more dramatic.
I saw it live though I was young...I was 2001 ones.
I saw someone grab that Safaricom building HQ - it was part Westland DO office.
The guy told me whole place from Agha Khan high to Westland was gov land - Biwott had grabbed from Brookside drive to Lions place.
The DO land I think they gave it to some Tugen althete - who then sold it to Mhindi.
My friend was acting as mtu ya mkono - walking around with maps identfying any public land in Nairobi that could be condemned
People were walking with Kenya maps looking for any public land
Then gyamnstic would be simple - get the gov public works to say that toilet or chiefs office or health center was codemned and unfit for human habitation.
That made the land available for re-allocation
Apply for it using a company - seeking land for investment
Gov never sell it's land - it's give out for free.
Once you get allotment letter - pay stamp duties and process the title.
Sell it to Mhindi or to gov parastals.

I think Ndungu Report and Historical land injustices have been overtaken by events...How do you recover the 20 acres stolen from statehouse Nairobi?Or JKIA/Wilson Airport Land?Port?Barracks?Tea plantations?Ranches in Maasai land?Kikuyu land coffee plantations like Tatu city?

Just impossible.

None was stolen.
They followed the law.
The law allowed gov to allocate investors free land upon application.
The free land was then sold to private investors.

Even now you can apply to be allocated public land to do a private investment.
Gov give you for free.

The twist nowadays - if land had been complusory acquired for a purpose - the original owners will be given it back - so if gov buy land to build an airport - it cannot proceed to give to someone else - it has to return to original owners if it changes mind about building the airport.
