*Who is grabbing our Home – Tala Road, Nairobi?*

On the night of Friday 30th July 2021 and the morning of Saturday July 31st 2021 our lives were literally turned upside down.

At around 11pm - well past the set official curfew hours - we noticed a large group of people walking
around our compound. Since they were carrying flashlights, it was easy to spot them in the dark.

Alarmed, we pressed our security alarm to alert our security backup team to find out what was going on.

But even before the security arrived, the invaders started making such a huge din - very loud, 'banging' noises. We thought they were trying to break down the gates leading into the main house. The sound was deafening. And it went on and on and on. Bang. Bang. Bang. It was jarring.

When our security team arrived, they were surprised to find a group of about 15 hefty men busy erecting a mabati fence around our compound. Surprisingly, these burly invaders were under the protection of armed policemen.

Our security team attempted to engage the policemen in a conversation - what was going on at their
client's property? The policemen responded swiftly with stinging hostility. Who are you to ask us? We ni nani?! Tokeni hapa saa hii….

The security guards beat a hasty retreat. We listen in total disbelief, deep shock and horror. It was
slowly dawning on us.

Our home was being grabbed right in front of our very own eyes. In the dead of the night. With the full involvement of the those authorized to protect us...the police.

This home had been bequeathed to us by our parents who acquired the property via a hefty mortgage 50 plus years ago.

We were raised here. We brought up our children here. We hold the title deed and are the legal
administrators of this property. As a family, we have never fought over this home. There has never ever been a dispute over this same property. Who are these people? Who does this? Who comes into your
home and brazenly claims it is theirs? Worse still who are these people who seem to be so bold!

The security team then proceeded to Runda police station to report this incredulous incident. In the meantime, the banging was now in full force. Bang. Bang. Bang. Well past midnight. The security guards were dismissively told by the policeman on duty that they were well aware of the operation and were
not going to record anything in the occurrence book. There's nothing we can do, he said nonchalantly.

But there is an invasion. There are lives at risk. It is an outright violation. The security guards protested on our behalf. This fell on deaf ears. And only produced an indifferent shrug and a bland smile to boot.
The security officers once again, relayed this information to us.

We were totally dejected. Clearly, we were on our own. We were terribly scared. Confused. And also, very, very angry. Livid. How can this happen? The sheer audacity. The gall.

With all our actions hitting a dead end, the grabbers had a free hand. Bang. Bang. Bang. They continued
to erect that fence all around our home...except for where the main house stands.

Downing their tools
at around 3am, they proceeded to blithely make themselves comfortable within the area they had fenced off.

Seeing this monstrosity, the next morning was utterly, totally unbelievable. It was like watching a horror
movie. Our home had been grabbed and cordoned off from us. Literally overnight.

On Sunday 2nd of August, someone's proxy - presented themselves as the owners of our home. This was
clearly someone at the behest of some powerful, connected and well-heeled instigators. He claimed they had a title deed which was 3 months old. Then why operate stealthily in the night? During curfew?
We asked.

The restraint it took on our part not to confront this proxy was HUGE. It was nothing but pure grace that held us in check.

We are now being asked to prove that our home is ours. In front of the police, the grabbers' proxy strutted around. He arrogantly gave the police a curt nod in agreement to a proof of ownership meeting, said 'Fine' and left. It was totally painful to watch this. What is happening to our country?

We have on good authority that a very high-ranking government official is the person responsible for all
this madness together with known cartels at the ministry of lands and legal firms. The strategy, take possession and fight it out in court. We are yet to find who is really behind this impunity.

But right now, as we move to the courts to get back our home, we are just praying for justice to be done. And hope that no other person ever has to go through this most frightening and harrowing nightmare.

Because in the blink of an eye, we are at risk of losing our 50-year-old home to a ruthless land grabberor a powerful cartel. Just because they feel they can.

Moses Kuria Invests in the alcohol industry



Two years ago, controversial Gatundu Member of Parliament Moses Kuria, who has been accused of appearing at public events while drunk, put chiefs in his constituency on notice over the alcohol industry.
“From today you must decide whether you want to sell beer or remain in public service. As long as I am the local MP you will not do both because you will compromise the war against second generation drinks, drugs and your job,” said Kuria.
These comments by the MP are very interesting because the MP is a leading investor in the second generation drinks himself. As the attached documents reveal, Hon Kuria owns 63% of Tihan Limited, manufacturer of Chase and Bubbles Spirits. He controls Tihan Limited through Emerging Capital Holdings, where he is the sole shareholder.
In this regard, news has reached our reporter that Mr Kuria is not playing all his cards above the table in the alcohol business. It is reported that the MP is abusing his power by using state agencies to intimidate and disrupt his competitors in the alcohol industry.
There is no harm in investing in the alcohol industry, even for an MP, as it is a legal undertaking. However, those in influential public positions must not use those positions to interfere with the operations of their competitors and cause them financial losses.
Considering that the market and the economy is big enough to accommodate all manner of players, the tendency by those in positions of power to kill competition and monopolise industries will cause mass joblessness and economic catastrophe.

Who are these people from EACC and ODPP being compromised?
Can they also be enjoined in aiding of the corruption and this lawyer hiding stuff?

Good Morning Members,
Nairobi traders have been asking about this Man, he is the Man who introduces himself as AntiCounterfeit Agency's Head of Operations and sometimes the Intellectual Property Rights owner Agent.
His Name is Koome, a Conman working closely with the Powerful Nairobi regional Manager Mr.Bule. His work is to identify the Malls and stalls to be raided and extorts Money from traders. Mr. Bule is Untouchable after he bought the ACA's Director a TX Prado and thats why he is not under investigation after his team was caught on Camera Stealing from Marsabit Plaza traders.
In Nairobi, only three ACA officers were interdicted a Mohammed Yusuf, Dennis Tomko and the driver Makokha. Their boss Bule the one sent them to go rob the Marsabit Plaza Traders is still in office.
In Kisumu, Mr. Sigei and David Ewoi are still in office. The investigating committee didn't investigate the team even after being caught on Camera robbing Kisumu traders..... As long as you grease the Bosses accounts, you are safe to continue Extorting hardworking Kenyans.
Instead of the ACA protecting the Kenyan Manufacture, they are busy 'Protecting' International brands (The IPR the ACA are using are all Conmen!)..... Its the easiest way to steal from Hard-working Kenyans and Fatten the ACA directors.

Hey Jackson, Please don't share or reveal my identity. I have been robbed my source of living by Government officials.
Am a 25 yr old single Mum and i run a Clothes shop in a Mall. This week, some People raided our shops and they claimed to be from Anti Counterfeit Agency and Kenya Police (Uniformed). They ransacked my Shop and told me that i was selling fakes brand name Bags, shoes, clothes and Perfumes and they were going to arrest me and Present me to court the following day and Court cash bail range from 500k to 1M. Aki i pleaded with them and they told me if i give them 300k they will not confiscate my goods or take me to court and will never bother me again. I told them i didn't have that kind of money and the money i had in my bank (They saw my statements in my boxfile) was 80k for paying my stall rent, house rent, house help, groceries and service my loan since its almost end month.
They had one person accompany me to withdraw all the money and when we came back, some of the Government officials had 'helped' themselves with my Merchandise saying they are exhibits. They visited other shops and stole from them, some traders were lucky they were alerted by Security and they closed their shops. I was able to take a photo of their Van after they took me to withdraw cash
Yaani Njeru i have been left bila anything... Sijui how I will pay my bills and loan, take care of my baby and Survive, these people have swept me Clean! Nikukalia sasa deposit as i wait for a miracle.
