Land Investors Allege Deception by National Cooperative Housing Union (Nachu)

An anonymous whistleblower has reached out to our blog, raising serious concerns about the National Cooperative Housing Union (Nachu) and its dealings with nearly 1000 investors who purchased land in Juja constituency, Kiambu, close to seven years ago.

The disputed land, spanning 500 acres in an area called Mugutha, lies just off Thika Road near Spur Mall, and is estimated to be worth Sh 4 billion.

According to the whistleblower, while investors were promised ownership of the land, only 15 title deeds have been issued out of the 600 that were anticipated.

This has sparked growing frustration among the investors who, having made their full payments, are now questioning the legitimacy of the entire process.

The issue revolves around a claim made by Nachu that the land was in the final stages of transfer from its original owners, New Pillion Estates Limited. However, the whistleblower reveals that the family of former police commissioner Bernard Njinu Kiarie, who owns New Pillion Estates, is embroiled in a legal dispute over the sale. Some family members reportedly contest the sale of the land to Nachu, asserting it was done without their consent.

Moreover, investors have expressed concern that Nachu has been conducting virtual meetings with them for years, but only recently did they learn that the payments they had made were not being forwarded to the original landowners. This has fueled suspicions that Nachu may have mismanaged the funds, further deepening the investors’ plight.

With many investors now seeking legal redress, the community is calling for greater transparency and accountability. The story continues to develop, and we urge authorities to investigate these claims thoroughly to ensure justice for those who have been affected.

We will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide updates as new information comes to light.
