EXPOSED: Woodley Estate Land Already Grabbed, Houses Sold ‘On Paper’ at Inflated Prices to Sakaja’s Close Allies Before Evictions

Investigation by our team has revealed that Nairobi City County Government plans to send goons to Woodley Estate in a bid to forcefully evict genuine residents, steal their properties and pave the way for what experts now call the upcoming mother of all corruption scandals within the Sakaja-led administration.

It is because of this that some businessmen, economic experts, activists and human rights experts are calling on President William Ruto to personally intervene and bring the governor to order.

“The President needs to come in as early as now and stop these evictions. Woodley Estate has harboured senior citizens who deserve respect and peace. To be precise, the President and Opposition Chief Raila Odinga need to come in and stop this madness,” said activist Stephen Owoko.

Human rights activists also called for order and calm, urging the government to help bring Woodley Estate to its initial state.

“Mrs. Lydia Mathia has caused a lot of environmental pollution in Woodley, leave alone engineering land grabbing, illegal evictions and corruption,” said Ezekiel Muthoni, an environmental activist.

In a press conference, residents, through Sam Gachago, alleged that there was a credible intelligence report which shows that all was set for the said illegal attacks as early as possible.

“There is a credible plan to deploy hired goons to invade Woodley Estate and evict tenants, steal their properties even in the existence of court orders barring such invasion,” said Gachago in a press conference.

The residents once again implicated Ms. Lydia Mathia as a frontrunner in the entire scheme, accusing her of overseeing the unlawful allocation of houses “on paper” after tenants resisted the illegal evictions in the estate.

“Mrs. Mathia holds no legal authority to allocate houses. Evidence continues to emerge that widespread corruption, including allegations that houses have been illegally sold or allocated ‘on paper’ at inflated prices to individuals closely linked to Sakaja, his personal assistants and members of his family,” Gachago said.

Kenya Insights has gathered multiple information showing that apart from the Sakaja-led administration, some people, most of them powerful individuals who have allegedly been defrauded millions in the said house scandals, have also participated in the said illegal evictions.

According to residents, the allegations are true as goons have been warning them to vacate the premises.

“Goons have harassed legal tenants, telling them that their houses have been re-allocated to other people,” they said.
