Grabbing of school land extends beyond Lang'ata Road

A 2014 audit report by the Nairobi County Government shows that the recent land grab saga pitting Lang’ata Road Primary school against a cabal of private developers is only the tip of the iceberg of the tribulations facing public institutions countrywide.

The damning report shows that school heads are facing an assault from two fronts; greedy developers and property flippers out to make a quick buck on one hand, and on the other, expansionist bids from school sponsors in the form of religious or non-governmental organisations electing to use school land for different purposes.
