How grabbers have shared the Moi Primary school Land

Kenyans have an insatiable appetite for land. They kill their own kin for ownership and when there is no one to kill, they out rightly grab public land.

On 26^th November 2010, the then lands minister James Orengo revoked 13 title deeds of parcels of land that had been grabbed from Moi Primary School in Nakuru. However, six years later the grabbers show no signs of moving out of the land fraudulently acquired.

Some of the occupants of the plots are Dr. Alvuvara who is a pediatrician based in Nakuru, former councilor Gitu of Nakuru municipality and retired teacher Angelica Kivuva among others.

Moi Primary school, according to a certificate of lease, initially owned 13 acres of land but two acres where the teachers’ quarter’s stood have since been grabbed.

The former servant quarters is now being occupied by the former kanjora Gitu who keeps cows and does dairy farming. His efforts to encroach on the school land are yet to be quenched as he continues to grab inch by inch.

The school has a population of 2000 pupils and 45 TSC teachers. Currently, there are no teachers residing within the school although there are about 450 pupils who are boarding there. The pupils cannot get enough security as no teacher lives within the school.
