Petition Sparks DCI Probe into Gerishon Kirima’s Mysterious Multi-Billion Njiru Land
A section of residents in the disputed Njiru land belonging to late politician Gerishon Kirima’s family now wants the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) to take up the matter and investigate how Kirima acquired the land in the first place.
In a petition filed before the court, the residents sought an order from the court to compel the DCI to examine the documents presented before the court and establish who between Kirima and Italian Dominico De Masi is the rightful owner of the contested piece of land.
In what looks like an unending dispute over the 1000-acre piece of land in the Njiru, Mihango, and Chokaa areas of Nairobi, another faction of residents settled here has now petitioned the court to compel the DCI to investigate the authenticity of documents presented before the court by the Kirima family.
The residents through lawyer Danstan Omari said they want the DCI to investigate the documents submitted by the family of the alleged original owner of the land the late Italian Dominico De Masi, to establish whether there was proper transfer of the property to the Kirimas.

They have also written to the National Lands Commission to investigate the title deed of the land.
The latest move stems from the October 23, judgment by Environment and Land Court judge Samson Okong’o, naming former Starehe MP Gerishon Kirima as its rightful owner.
Okang’o gave the squatters up to December 31, to vacate and hand over possession of the property to the estate of Kirima.
The residents said the judgment as it is, if executed will gravely affect them and would be negating the economic development of the area.
The 15 beneficiaries of the Kirima estate as listed by the court are exploring avenues of amicably seeking compensation from the settlers.
