Boniface Mwangi Gives Tips For Buying, Owning Land Amidst Increased Grabbing Cases: "Use Banks"

• Entrepreneur Boniface Mwangi provided nuggets on investing in land to prevent landowners from being scammed
• The activist shared that the best way to avoid land-grabbing cases was by involving a bank when acquiring land
• He noted financial institutions go through a rigorous and thorough process for years before establishing the genuineness of the land

Human rights activist Boniface Mwangi has taken to social media to educate netizens on land investment tips.

Mwangi noted an influx in land-grabbing cases that may put off potential buyers and investors from putting their money into such investments.

He blatantly claimed that the government could not be trusted with files on land because of the scamming and land-grabbing cases.

Can you buy land through bank?

"This is the secret to avoid your land being grabbed or being scammed without common knowledge," he said.

Buy land through a bank. Pay the loan in three to five years. This means you own the land as two individuals, you and the bank. Banks go through a very long verifiable process before they can get a green card to establish the genuineness of the land, so it's difficult to get scammed," part of the caption read.

The activist who accused the police of arresting innocent people urged netizens to avoid one risk after finishing paying the loan and acquiring the title.

This is a land-grabbing government, Mwangi

He implored them to approach the same bank or another financial institution with the title and request a loan.

"Again, they will go through another verifiable process, and again you will own the land with the bank for another three to five years.

By the time the second loan is paid up, that land has a good chronology and history and is easy to defend in court if one comes up with a grabbing agenda! Be wise! Be educated! Be alerted! This is a land-grabbing government," he said.

Nairobi land grabbers arrested by DCI

Earlier this month, wanted land grabbers were arrested after visiting the Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) headquarters to bribe the sleuths.

Jackson Mwangi and Elijah Macharia were on record of allegedly acquiring parcels of land in the suburbs of Nairobi City.

The two were released on KSh 200,000 cash bail to allow officers to arrange their files as they compiled the alleged charges pressed against them.

"In the daring bribery attempt to the country's highest criminal investigations agency, all Jackson Mwangi sought from the investigator was a two-month delay in the ongoing investigations," a statement from DCI read.
