In cold blood: Why Embakasi land barons get murdered

Nairobi’s ODM youth leader Stephen Mukabana’s death may be linked to the perennial land disputes in Embakasi

There are claims that the recent murder of Nairobi’s ODM youth leader, Stephen David Odongo Mukabana, may be linked to the perennial land disputes in Embakasi, where other perceived land barons have fallen in almost similar style.

Mukabana, who had political ambitions, joins the list of prominent individuals from the area whose unsolved killings have been linked to land. They include Jared Achok, Onesmus Mutinda Katunge, Simon Rayboy Mwangi, John Maina Kaibere and Stephen Mugo Mutothori.
