    "content": "Therefore, it is a matter that is very sensitive to the people of Kiambu. Being the bedroom of Nairobi, Kiambu County has become one of the areas that prospective land grabbers and so- called private investors target. This matter of Tatu City is very sensitive. Many of the people being swindled of their land are very hardworking peasants who were made to believe that, because of the colour of somebody’s skin, those were serious private investors and, therefore, invested in what was sold as a multi-faceted housing and industrial park. People believed that there was an investment that these so-called private investors were coming to inject capital into. So far, other than speculating on land, they are now selling the land to other third parties, disenfranchising and stealing it from the original investors in the project - people who were made to believe that there were houses and industries that would be built. Across the country today, if you want to make money, you just have to sell a concept on paper but never do anything on the ground. That is what is happening in Tatu City. These are not small people. Yesterday, we were talking about cartels in the sugar industry. Today, there being no coffee anymore in Kiambu because we have cut it down and are now “planting” houses, the cartels are now in the land industry. The Thika and Kiambu land registries are areas where corruption is very rife. In terms of the corruption index of the country, if you were to grade, the only county that would compete with Kiambu and Thika land registries would only be Kajiado County because there is a lot of land fraud there."
