Nakuru Governor Susan Kihika has sounded a stern warning to land grabbers in Nakuru County.
In a statement to Newsrooms, Kihika said she will not tolerate any unauthorized acquisition of public land.
“I will not tolerate any unauthorized acquisition of public lands,” she stated.
Kihika stated that it is crucial to safeguard these lands to facilitate development projects.
She added that as Custodian of public lands in Nakuru County, she remains committed to preventing any encroachments.
Governor Kihika’s sentiments coming barely sometimes after Naivasha Member of Parliament Jane Kihara stated that President William Ruto is the bonafide owner of a 5000-acre piece of land at Ndabibi area in Naivasha.
Speaking at a public baraza, Kihara accused a section of leaders of being behind a syndicate of land grabbers targeting unsuspecting owners.
The defense comes one week after 19 people were arrested for taking down a concrete fence surrounding the land and destroying property worth 2.3 million shillings.
