Tension As Rowdy Youth Attempt To Invade Land Linked to Kenyatta Family

A group of rowdy youths on Thursday, March 30 attempted to invade Kedong ranch, which is linked to the Kenyatta family. 

The attempts were thwarted by a joint team of police officers from Narok County who lobbed teargas canisters to disperse the invaders.

Narok County Commissioner Isaac Masinde told the media that he deployed the anti-riot officers to secure the ranch after he received reports of a planned invasion.

"We received reports that some members of the youth from the neighbouring community planned to invade the more than 75,000-acre expansive land and destroy property. We deployed anti-riot officers from 6 am. They thwarted the attempt by the youths to invade the land," said Masinde.

The ranch has been on the spot a number of times with locals claiming that the land was grabbed during the former administration. 

This comes days after unknown people invaded the Kenyatta Family’s Northlands City land in the Kamakis area, Kiambu County, and stole over a thousand sheep before setting part of the farm on fire.

Azimio la Umoja leader Raila Odinga’s East Africa Spectre gas cylinder company in Mombasa Road was also invaded.
