A private developer grabbed land belonging to the College of Insurance. By then, the college had been on the land for decades. Via a grant dated March 1982 and registered in 1995, the Insurance Training Trust owned the land, until one Rajab Karume popped up in 2011 to claim it.
The matter went all the way to the Supreme Court, where the College shockingly lost the case. This year, the grabber constructed a wall, blocking the gate to the college, subdivided the land and put the pieces up for sale.
While answering Senator Sifuna today, on the question of how land clearly owned by an institution over decades, can change ownership overnight without due process, CS Alice Wahome replied that she didn't understand it either, but she might be cited for contempt of court if she spoke about that matter.
How safe is land ownership in this country, if this model of land grabbing becomes the fad?

Eritrea-Cuba/North Korea
Kenya-Philippines (mentally colonised population, unindustrialised yet highly liberalised economy)
