A land dispute has erupted in Kiambu, with two influential politicians accused of using their connections within the county government to facilitate the illegal takeover of land belonging to the Postal Corporation of Kenya (PCK).

The prime property, approximately one and a half acres, is located near a major bus stop in the heart of Kiambu town. It houses a post office but is now at risk of being lost to private developers in a scheme allegedly involving compromised police officers.

Documents obtained by The Standard indicate that PCK has repeatedly been blocked from securing the land, with police failing to provide protection despite multiple requests.
