Battle for Mama Ngina's Land: 3,000 Residents Seek Resolution in Ongoing Dispute

Approximately 3,000 individuals residing in the Jipe region of Taveta Constituency, Taita Taveta County, are seeking confirmation from Mama Ngina Kenyatta regarding the transfer of 1,062.3 hectares of land that she recently sued the government for.

Residents voiced their concerns to the media on Friday, contending that both Mama Ngina and former Taveta MP Basil Criticos erred by taking legal action against the government to acquire the title deed for the land in Taita Taveta County. The pair claimed co-ownership of the land. Consequently, the residents fear potential eviction due to the lawsuit against the state. A resident, acting as spokesperson, declared, "I possess the evidence right here - Mama Ngina Kenyatta and Basil Criticos personally granted this land on March 18, 1997. Their signatures can be found here."

Additionally, the spokesperson asserted that the former first lady made a plea for the land to be distributed among the locals. Another resident voiced his concern, saying that those who have taken legal measures, like Mama Ngina Kenyatta and Basil Criticos, are making them apprehensive. Albert Kanzoi, one of the original occupants of the Jipe area, implored all parties involved in the dispute to seek counsel from the elders.

The residents also pleaded with the government to grant them title deeds to protect them from the danger of eviction. Kanzoi, one of the few remaining residents who migrated from Tanganyika, emphasized that the majority of people in the area were born there. MP John Okano Bwire emphasized the importance of the government addressing the concerns of the informal settlers and officially allocating the land to them. Bwire, who is also a lawyer, expressed his intention to convey this message to the President.

The evidence indicates that the land was initially given up by the ex-first lady and Basil, but it remains unclear if the inhabitants will be implicated in the legal proceedings. Mama Ngina and Basil Criticos, who are being accused in this case, initiated legal action in December 2023, asserting their right to the 1062.3 hectares of land. They took legal action against the Chief Lands Registrar and the Attorney General, alleging that they had not received the land title as promised.

William Kalejinga Ruto bought stolen land from Basil Criticos.
Kalejinga Ruto uses that land to hide cows and chickens stolen from poor Riftvalley farmers.

That land should go back to its rightful owners.

One of the most corrupt and greedy woman I have ever known. In the late and early seventies, when MjuAji wa a little, and during Chepkupe coffee magendo period, Mama Ngina extended her craft in corruption by being caught by a former Coast Provincial Commissioner transporting ivory or elephants tusk for export. During those days, PCs and Provincial Police Commissioners reported all security incidents directly to Kenyatta. Kenyatta was so mad with her but the then PC Eliud Mahihu, head of the Coast province, saved her neck and went ahead to export them. As we speak, the Kenyatta family now owns all land previously owned by Lord Delamere, after the mysterious death of the great Tom Cholmondeley of Soysambu ranch. AS Uhurus wife was sponsoring mafi ya kuku Beyond Zero Marathon through Lewa Conservancy at Gilgil, little did we know that they had other greedy plans. Today, all that piece of thousands and thousand of Lewa Conservancy extending from Gilgil weigh bridge or toll station, all the way to Marura at Naivasha KCC depot, is owned by the Uhuru Family. Conspicuously though, is how they removed the memorial tomb of the late Father Kaiser which was located near the Gilgil-Naivasha highway and hid it behind so that the spirit of Father Kaiser, who was brutally murdered by Moi regime for championing the plight of Post Election victims from Narok, Enoosupukia, Nairegi Ankare, etc who had been forcefully evicted from their homes. May the souls of the generations of the Kenyattas, Mois, Ntimamas, Kariuki Chotara, Kamangaras, Mama Steel Wanjiru, Kihikas, Bargetunys, Sharriff Nassirs, Biwotts, Kihonges, Ngumos, JJ Kamothos, Railas, Koinanges, Rutos, Mudavadis, Mullu Mutisyas, Kalonzo Musyokas, Nyachaes, PCs Mathenges, Hajjis, Oloo Aringos, Okiki Amayos, Saitotis, Njonjos, etc. These brutes laid a foundation of the sufferings Kenyans go through today. They amassed unimaginable wealth by taking over land owned by white settlers without paying dime per hectare, or nothing at all.

It's obvious how ignorant most Kenyans are . Gullible fools who swallow all the political shit and nonsense. Read from the comments and its worrying.
One does not even where lewa is . One does not know between marura Farm and Delamere. Delamere conservancy is Gilgil bordering Lake Nakuru.
What an ignorant fool with porridge as brain. Do your research to stop fooling yourself and exposing your small brains.

We as locals we have no issue if she wishes to reposes the land she can do so since Taveta people have always been denied their land,in all the previous allocations you'll see people from other parts of the country being issued with title deeds but not the locals so Mama Ngina and Basil should reposes their land since it's easier for the locals to demand their land from two people than from 3000 people some who claim to have moved from Tanzania.

Every person makes hay while the dun shines..that's principle of life. What you own is yours..and stop spewing arrogance here. Mama did not steal anything..you get that. In fact, she helped the squatters get that land back from a colonial Mzungu grabber.. Respect Mama and Kenyatta family!
