Inside President Uhuru Family's Mabati-Made Estate that Rakes in Millions Per Year

Details about a mabati-made estate in Kitengela belonging to President Kenyatta's family have emerged.

The iron sheet estate, located in Kitengela area along Namanga Rd in Kajiado County rakes in millions of shillings per year for the first family, Standard Digital reports.

Dubbed "Kwa Uhuru", the estate was named after President Uhuru before he joined politics and sits on an expansive farm belonging to the Kenyatta family, just a few kilometers from the fast-developing Kitengela town.

Income from the 20-year-old property is reportedly collected by a caretaker and an agent on behalf of the first family.
 
“Rent is deposited to an agent account then channelled to President’s family. Rent is paid strictly before date 10 of every month failure to which tenants are ejected,” a tenant told the Nairobian.

The estate is made of 200 housing units and a front perimeter wall with tenants paying Sh1, 200 monthly rent for each house and Sh1, 450 for a slightly bigger house.

Simple calculations translate to approximately Sh250,000 per month for Kenyatta family and Sh3 million annually.

Majority of tenants work at Exotic Penina Fields Group Ltd, a carnation farm locate near the estate while others are employed by Maasai Flowers Limited as well nearby farms and construction sites.

Kwa Uhuru is manned for 24 hours by security guards from a private company and has a borehole that provides tenants with water round-the-clock from two taps.

“Though there is that sense of pride and security because of who owns the estate, you can’t leave your house open. But unlike other shanties we are far better and organised,” said a resident identified only as Ondieki.

The shanty estate was initially set up to house workers of Kitengela Honey Products Farm, a Kenyatta family venture that failed to pick up.

“After work our men prefer to hang out at the entrance chatting and gazing at vehicles plying the Namanga road,” a resident said.

This is the business acumen of the boy in display. Big faux is just that. A slogan. There is no way this demonstration of lack of ideas can connect to the lofty ideas in the corruption spigot that is big faux.

This is how majority of Kikuyu's think.

if they can keep people in poverty while making money, they will.

Kenya is going nowhere with Kikuyu Leadership.Heck, Kikuyu's are going nowhere with their mode of thinking.They are just running in circles.

Majority of Kikuyu's and Majority of Kalenjin.

Look at Gideon Moi and his father, daniel toroitich pretending to be homeless and landless kipsigis.
Now he has to be evicted.

What do you make of such people?
Its a mentality.
A Poverty mentality.

'Poverty mentality is a mindset about money that develops over time – it is a “poor me” attitude that stems from a deep-seated belief that there is never enough',

Kenya is going nowhere with Kikuyu and/ Kalenjin leadership.They are pathetic and lack vision to even save themselves from their own foolish mentalities.

Those mabati houses can't be more than 10yrs old. If after all those years of looting he is still making these kinds of investments, if after the education in elite schools this is his best investment idea then I can understand why he thinks borrowing money is something to be proud of. Pole Kenya

its quite a surprise that to this date we still got some dumb f**ks arguing along tribal lines...eti kikuyus this kalenjins that...why not just call out on individuals starting with your damn selves for not having invested or rather doing something of significance. not to support the president but i think i've read somewhere that the shanties enjoy some amenities that most people who even live in better houses dont...water and security...to me that is something...give credit where its due and stop always being so stupid a** negative

I am not defending the Kenyatta family but let's be real, 250k is pocket change to this family.You can make yourself believe your stories it's your prerogative. There are some who don't believe in climate change, others believe a witch doctor will multiply your money others think flashing big big house and a flashy car is a sign of wealth. If you want to buy it join the club.
