PHOTOS: Goons Invade Kenyatta Family’s Farm in Ruiru, Cut Down Trees and Steal Livestock

Unknown people on Monday morning invaded a property owned by former President Uhuru Kenyatta’s family along Eastern Bypass in Ruiru, Kiambu County.

Reports indicate that the goons gained access to the vast land from the Kamakis side and began cutting down trees using power saws while others were seen loading livestock from the farm into vehicles and carting them away.

During the mid-morning incident, part of the farm was also set on fire. It is not clear who the invaders were and what their motive was.

Journalists who were at the scene had to secretly film the invasion after they were threatened by the machete-wielding intruders.

Brookside Dairy and Peponi School are situated inside the vast property that stretches for acres.

The 11,000-acre land is part of the Kenyatta family’s ambitious project to build Northlands City, a Sh500 billion dream city that will host a population of over 250,000 people once completed. 

The Kenyatta family is undertaking the multi-billion-shilling project through their company Brookside Holdings Ltd.

The master plan for the project indicates that 3,750 acres is set aside for housing, 695 acres for an industrial park, 390 acres for a business district, and 1,697 acres for open recreational space. 

The remaining 5,156 acres are set aside for wildlife conservation and agricultural purposes.
