More that 50 families in Noonkopir area, Kitengela, Kajiado county spent Monday night in the cold after their houses were brought down by a developer.
Armed police officers accompanying hired goons escorted the developer who had a court order, to the area and bulldozed more than 50 permanent homes.
Oloosirkon/Sholinke ward MCA Daniel Kanchori on Tuesday claimed the county government surveyors had previously validated the plots and therefore, should be held accountable for the destruction.
“It is unfortunate that this happened to my voters. Security of plots in Kitengela town and its environs has been put to the test especially now that the county is part of the problem,” Kanchori said.
The affected residents claimed they have title deeds that were validated by the county early this year through the county land management board.
It is alleged the investor bought the two acres for industrial purposes but it was later grabbed by unknown people who with some county officials, subdivided and sold it to the residents.
