In the latest incidents Kenya Railway has brought to the attention of all members of the public who are illegally occupying Kenya Railway land,reserves and corridors that the corporation  will repossess all such land,reserves and corridors.

In a public notice, the Kenya  Railway stated that it was its intention to reclaim all land within 100 feet on either side of the railway line which is reserved for railway operations to ensure safety of railway traffic as well as the general public,hence any unauthorized persons who have entered such land has been given a thirty day notice to voluntarily move out of the land or face forceful eviction and prosecution for trespass without any further reference to them upon expiry of the notice.
