A section of Huruma based politicians have been linked to the attempts to grab the said land that is purportedly owned by the International Pentecostal Holiness Church.
“We advice all parties to look into the history of the parcels and get the right documentation for true tenure of the land. This history will give us the true picture and enable the right owners get back their land,” said Mr. Sitienei
Mr Sitienei in consultation with the area MCA Hon. Kimani Wanjohi, Ag. Director Urban Development Planner Jacktone Kiprop and Adv. Ronald Kiprop from the legal department agreed that there is an urgent need to undertake public participation where all the involved will air out their grievances.
Several parties are claiming ownership; the parcel of Land has a history of multiple sales of same property to different unsuspecting buyers leading to fights while denying the rightful owners the opportunity to develop the said property “Added the CECM Lands.
Mr Sitienei has assured that the County government will protect all public and private land against land grabbing that has proliferated over the years.
Over five prime parcels of Land owned by the Uasin Gishu County government within Elgon View estate are in verge of being grabbed.
