Former Prime Minister Raila Odinga has vowed to take legal action against the alleged grabbing of a 16-acre parcel of land owned by the Congo Mosque in Kwale County.
While inspecting the property, Raila expressed outrage. He accused land grabbers of trying to claim ownership of the prime parcel from the Kwale Islamic Centre Community. He demanded the prosecution of those involved and promised to intervene to ensure justice.
The land dispute has alarmed the local community. They view the mosque as a vital cultural and religious landmark. Raila’s involvement has drawn national attention to the issue, emphasizing the widespread problem of land grabbing in Kenya.
This issue has plagued the country for years, with individuals and organizations exploiting legal loopholes and corrupt practices to seize land unlawfully.
Raila’s stance on the Kwale land row reflects his commitment to addressing injustices and advocating for community rights. The Kwale land row is part of a larger pattern of land disputes across Kenya.
