A section of Menengai residents descended on a piece of land fenced by a private developer and pulled down the perimeter wall.
Addressing media led by Geoffrey Kamau after demolishing the wall, the residents said the land is public property.
The land is adjacent to Mediheal Hospital in Nakuru.
“We came here to reclaim public land. The private developer has gone ahead to fence off despite the survey done having indicated that the land is a public utility,” said Kamau.
The angry residents claimed the developer had forged documents to claim the land.
“The private developer should come out clear how he got the documents,” they said.
While speaking during a church service a few weeks ago, President Uhuru Kenyatta called on the public to help him fight corruption.
He urged members of the public to take action against anyone touching on public resources including MPs and MCAs.
