The irregular land allocation in Kenya has not only affected the citizens of Kenya but also foreign individuals and companies. 

Examples: land buying in Kenya

A good example is the Syokimau estate incident where about 300 houses were demolished in 2011 following a cabinet decision that flight paths to the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport and Wilson Airport needed to be secured.

The argument here was that the land in question belonged to Kenya Airport Authority and was sold off by government officials from both the municipality of Mavoko and land officials where fake titles were issued.

Interesting, isn’t it? Not if you are a victim. 

Effects: owning Land in Kenya

Today almost the majority of Kenyans have been at one point in life subjected to forceful eviction either by torching of the whole houses if it is a slam or where the houses in question are in an established estate the Syokimau demolition system is the way to go.

 Almost all of these demolitions and burning are performed during the glee hours of the night.
