A businessman has protested over the encroachment of land measuring 0.4 hectares worth Sh150 million in Nairobi’s Umoja area.
Peter Muhia, the proprietor of Akenya Investment Ltd, has accused the police of protecting a businessman who has encroached on his land using fake documents and wants the Inspector General of Police Hilary Mutyambai to intervene.
He accused officers at Buruburu police station of allowing the said businessman to construct on his land despite making a report on December 7 concerning the matter.
“From the above-mentioned date, no investigations and or actions have been undertaken on the matter,” Muhia wrote to Nairobi Area DCI boss Bernard Nyakwaka. His lawyer, Melba Katindi, said in the letter that Muhia was the legal owner of the land and those constructing on it were encroachers.

A Nairobi-based businessman has accused police of protecting goons putting up structures on his land in Umoja, Nairobi.
Mr Peter Muhia contends police are illegally acting on fake documents to allow a businessman to construct a building on his Sh150 million piece of land.
He wants the Inspector General of Police Hillary Mutyambai to intervene and stop the move, saying his officers at the Buruburu division are not helping him.
Muhia said he reported the encroachment on his land to the police on December 7 but no action had been taken.
