Kenyans have urged the director of public prosecution Noordin Haji to arrest Garissa senator Mohammed Yusuf Haji who also doubles as his father for illegaly acquiring squatters’ land worth 84 acres at the Coast in 1990s .
The acquired land was later sold to a charitable organisation . The National Land Commissioner (NLC) started a public inquiry into historical land injustices at the Coast on Tuesday. The commission is investigating all land disputes since 1895, when the Kenyan Coast was taken over from its Omani rulers.
Haji and the charitable organisation he allegedly sold the land to were notified of impending adverse testimony against them and invited to yesterday’s proceedings, but neither came nor sent a representative. Sh4.8 million
The family of Kazungu Moli claimed yesterday the senator acquired the land in the 1990s and later sold it to the Sheikh Zayed Bin Sultan Al Nahyan Charitable and Humanitarian Foundation.
Earlier on ODM Communications Director Philip Etale, called for immediate investigations and possible arrest and prosecution of Garissa Senator Yusuf Haji.
“DPP Noordin Haji, this is a matter that requires your urgent attention. Act now… Senator Haji now accused of grabbing 84 acre squatter land in Coast in 1990s.”
Former Kiambu Governor William Kabogo responded to Etale in a Twitter conversation saying:
“That’s below the belt Ndugu. Let the man work.”
In a presentation before NLC’s committee on historical land injustices, a member of the family, Mr Harry Chogo, claimed the PC sold the land (Majaoni settlement scheme) for Sh4.8 million. He said residents were living on it. Mr Chogo said Sheikh Zayed has since leased the land to African University Trust of Kenya (AUTK), which has constructed the Mombasa International University (MIU) at a cost of about Sh500 million.
He made the presentation to the NLC committee chaired by Commissioner Samuel Tororei at the Kenya School of Government.
“We are facing eviction threats from AUTK, which has several times told us it would deploy bulldozers to bring down our houses,” said Chogo. The claimants want the original title deed for plot number MN/I/5141 cancelled and the land reverted to them. Dr Tororei said AUTK and Senator Haji would be given an opportunity to respond. “The other parties did not come and we will therefore give them a chance to respond to the claimants,” Tororei said, after Chogo appeared for the second day yesterday. Chogo said the family currently has about 250 members living on the land. His father, Kazungu Moli, 85, attended the hearing.

Saudi Arabia, Oman and every WHO is WHO in the Middle East, Near East and South East Asia own massive land properties in East Africa for their Agro-farming businesses for export! These farmers employ poor African slave labor because Kenyan elites are incapable of creating jobs! PROVIDING SLAVE LABOR TO FOREIGN OWNED BUSINESSES APPEAR TO BE THE MAIN REASON WHY KENYA
GAINED ITS INDEPENDENCE!! These are the poor Kenyan population similar to those poor Kenyans who were swept away by that illegal Patel Dam in Solai!!
In case Kenyan gained independence from Britain, they are the dam builders, oil explorers/miners and foreign Agro-businesses that are enjoying the fruits of the Kenyan independence since 12/12/1963! They have everything, including being above all Kenyan laws!!
These are the only people allowed to export farm products on which Kenya African slave labor force is toiling!!
The Kenyan farmers (maize , sugarcane, coffee and peasant ) are being blatantly undermined to fail so that the land can be auctioned off to foreign farming interests. The ruling elites who are protected with massive security details, paid for by both their foreign bosses and poor Kenya taxpayers, are the tools used to threaten and dislocate their own citizens!

BLACK AFRICA CITIZENS ARE BEING PUT INTO CROWDED SLUMS, TOWNSHIPS OR GHETTOS WHERE THEY FORCED TO CONSUME FOOD PACKAGED BY FOREIGN COMPANIES!
THESE ARE “FOR PROFIT” FOOD LOADED WITH SALT, SATURATED FATS AND OTHER TOXINS USED IN THEIR MANUFACTURING AND PACKAGING!
THIS IS THE MAIN REASON WHY AFRICANS ARE BEING DRIVEN OFF THE LAND AND DEPOSITED IN CROWDED SLUMS, GHETTOS AND TOWNSHIP TO CONSUME UNHEALTHY FOOD TILL THEY ALL DIE OFF!

US President Donald Trump has lashed out at officials at the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) and Department of Justice (DOJ) for being “out to lunch”.
In a series of tweets on Saturday, Trump slammed FBI and DOJ officials for being “completely out to lunch” when it came to fighting corruption.
His tweets evolved around a report by Judicial Watch, a conservative watchdog group, regarding the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISA) warrants for surveillance of a former Trump campaign aide.
Trump quoted from a Friday night appearance on Fox’s Hannity program by President of Judicial Watch, Tom Fitton, who was discussing wiretap warrants on a former foreign policy adviser to the Trump campaign, Carter Page.
” ‘It is astonishing that the FISA courts couldn’t hold hearings on Spy Warrants targeting Donald Trump. It isn’t about Carter Page, it’s about the Trump Campaign. You’ve got corruption at the DOJ & FBI,’ ” Trump wrote on Twitter, quoting Fitton.
