Peter Kariuki, 75, is a troubled man. He is a Kenya Railways retiree, but he stopped getting pension five months ago.

Nonetheless, he knew his trouble with money would end soon after the National Land Commission (NLC) acquired a parcel owned by the Kenya Railways Staff Retirement Benefits Scheme, of which he is a member, for the Nairobi Expressway project.
