Alarm As 44 Nairobi Police Stations Risk Land Grabbing
44 out of 64 police stations in Nairobi, including Gigiri, Muthaiga and Ngara, have no title deeds, raising fears of land grabbing and forced closures, a new report has revealed.
The report tabled before the Senate Committee on National Security by Inspector General Douglas Kanja indicates that many police stations in Nairobi lack proper documentation, and others have no title deeds.
At the same time, others have untraceable records, while several sit on donated land that was never formally registered.
According to the report, the problem cuts across multiple sub-counties, with Starehe bearing the brunt.
The report indicates that several key stations, including Ngara, Pangani, Eastleigh North, Kariobangi, Korogocho and Muthaiga, are among those with no proper documentation in the Starehe area.
Other affected areas include Kasarani, Makadara, Kayole, Embakasi, Ruaraka and Ruai.
Some of the police stations found not to be without title deeds or records include Kileleshwa Police Station, Kibra Police Station and Sarangombe Police Post, all in the Kilimani area.
Another eye-catching police station said to have unclear ownership documents is Lang’ata Police Station.Hardy
Hardy and Akila police stations, as well as Bomas Police Post, are also facing the same problem, according to the report.

Runda and Gigiri police stations and Loresho and Evergreen police posts are also among those affected. Parklands Police Station and Luthuli Police Post are also flagged.
Kabete and Muthangari police stations, alongside Kawangware and Gatina posts, lack proper documentation, the report notes.
The revelations come barely a year after it emerged that over 26,000 of the 31,000 public schools lack title deeds.
This leaves them vulnerable to land grabbing, encroachment, and stalled development.
Despite government initiatives, only about 5,000 to 5,200 schools have secured title deeds, with many in arid regions completely unsecured.
