Why is Institutional land grabbing on the rise?

From Langata Primary to Nairobi Primary to Lavington Primary, now it is United States International University' land that grabbers want. Could it be that land grabbers view learning institutions as 'soft' targets? Perhaps some individuals perceive undeveloped land as though no legitimate owner exist. When an individual or entity takes up someone's land and the authorities that we have vested our trust in watch without acting then who are we supposed to run to?  I think that we may not need such institutions as the National Land Commission (NLC) leave alone the land registry that is run by cartels who work round the clock to steal from the very public that they are supposed to serve.

It is unfortunate that these cartels are run by dishonest politicians who have sort to rob the very people that helped them rise. One thing I have to say is that when a leader seizes to protect the interests of 'wananchi' and colludes with other arms to oppress them then leadership ends and they become criminals.

NLC needs to come out clean and tell us why the USIU land has another title and who is culpable to have issued the same from them. The police on the other hand are not being helpful in USIU's quest to get justice. When machete welding gangs occupied the land, police had been informed of unknown individuals frequenting the parcel of land. When the aforementioned gang chased away University guard’s police were informed but they too said there was little they could do. Are we supposed to turn rogue as USIU community and get another gang? No, we won’t but let government apparatus be not controlled by scoundrel politicians.

USIU is a nonprofit institution and if this act of lawlessness is allowed then it will take the Institution aback not only on investments but on the requirements of minimum land ownership by the Commission for University Education (CUE). It is unfortunate that land grabbing is on the rise and we need not condone this as a society. My appeal to NLC and the Ministry of lands is, please get your act together to enable USIU's land  not be taken away.
