Thousands of residents could be evicted after the National Land Commission (NLC) ruled that the land that they occupy belongs to Kenyatta University (KU).

NLC Chairman Muhammad Swazuri said that after intensive investigation, the commission has concluded that the land in Kamae, Kahawa West in Kiambu County belongs to KU and that the 10,000 people occupying the land were not its rightful owners.
