On March 14, 2025, Kenya Railway retirees took to the streets to protest the alleged grabbing of their land by an unnamed private land developer.
The retirees, joined by prominent political figures Kalonzo Musyoka and Martha Karua, demanded justice and the return of their land.
The protest, captured by Citizen TV Kenya, highlighted the growing tension over land rights in the country.
Kalonzo Musyoka, a key figure in the protest, revealed that the government had deployed General Service Unit (GSU) officers to guard the disputed land.
This move has raised questions about the government’s role in the land dispute, with protesters accusing the authorities of siding with the private developer.
The retirees, who have spent their lives serving the Kenya Railway, expressed their frustration and fear of losing their rightful land to powerful interests.
Martha Karua, another prominent leader present at the protest, echoed the call for justice, urging the government to intervene and protect the rights of the retirees.
The protesters accused the private developer of using underhand tactics to seize the land, which they claim is crucial for their livelihoods and future generations.
As the situation unfolds, the retirees and their supporters remain hopeful that their voices will be heard, and justice will prevail. The government’s response to this crisis will be closely watched, as it could set a precedent for how land disputes are handled in the future.
