What you need to know:
- Shareholders claimed directors “who are in office illegally in cahoots with the Lands ministry”, have been issuing title deeds for Twiga Estate in Ruiru to preferred individuals who masquerade as shareholders.
- They asked Mr Nkaissery to order the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution Keriako Tobiko and that of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations to expedite their investigations and take firm action against looters.
A section of shareholders of the controversial Mbo-i-Kamiti land buying company in Kiambu have now written to Interior Cabinet Secretary Joseph Nkaissery, asking him to end what they have described as unprecedented illegal, unauthorised sale and looting of their assets.
Some of the ongoing activities at the company, they say, are a recipe for bloodshed. They claimed directors “who are in office illegally in cahoots with the Lands ministry”, have been issuing title deeds for Twiga Estate in Ruiru to preferred individuals who masquerade as shareholders.
“Never mind that the same estate was allocated (to shareholders) in 2003. This is a clear path to bloodshed as the original allotees will have to claim their land,” they wrote.
Through Mbo-i-Kamiti Welfare Group, they protested to the CS that they had for years sought assistance from the county and national government offices to no avail.
They asked Mr Nkaissery to order the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution Keriako Tobiko and that of the Directorate of Criminal Investigations to expedite their investigations and take firm action against looters.
WANT DEALINGS STOPPED
They also want any dealings with the company’s assets stopped until all disputes are solved.
Mr Evans Thiong’o, the lobby’s chairperson, authored the letter dated March 8, that also faulted President Uhuru Kenyatta, Kiambu Governor William Kabogo, police and the Lands ministry for allegedly ignoring their concerns.
In the letter seen by the Nation, Mr Thiong’o said the shareholders petitioned the President seeking his intervention but got no response.
In the petition, they told the President that a well-organised network involving judicial officers, Registrar of Companies officials and police officers, legitimate and self-proclaimed directors had forged documents to dispose of their property without consent.
Mr Thion’go also said the governor invited them to his office but informed them later that he could not handle the matter due to its “sensitive nature”.
