The land was set aside in the 1970s by the then-Ministry of Livestock as an animal holding ground.
The community later managed to have it reverted to them as communal land and a title deed was issued in 2007.
The controversy has put NLC on high alert, with chairman Gershom Otachi calling for an urgent meeting with Lands Cabinet Secretary Zachary Njeru and Kajiado Governor Joseph Ole Lenku.
A letter seen by The Saturday Standard and copied to Lands CS calls for a stop to any activity by the Ministry of Lands and urges for more consultations with various stakeholders.
"It is prudent that you put on hold the process to allow arbitration and further engagement with all stakeholders for a win-win situation," says the letter.
On Wednesday, hundreds of residents held a demonstration to oppose the sub-division of the land.
They accused senior government officers of allocating themselves huge chunks of land at the expense of the residents.
