Kenafric Properties Limited has released a detailed statement addressing concerns following the repossession of land in Baba Dogo—commonly referred to as the “Baba Dogo football grounds”—on 13 June 2025.
Kenafric is the “lawful and registered owner of the property, Land Reference Number 336/109, as confirmed by the Environment and Land Court (Case ELCE093 of 2023),” read the statement.
The company’s ownership of the land is traced back to 1996. Further, a 50‑year lease extension was granted in 2004, with formal title transfer to Kenafric Properties Limited occurring in 2014.
Addressing the repossession itself, Kenafric stated:
“The decision to repossess the land after the court ruling was not taken lightly. All legal procedures, including proper notice and engagement with local leaders, were followed in advance of the operation. This was not an act of hostility or disregard for the community.”
“Claims of land grabbing are not only inaccurate but also unfair to the process that the courts have upheld.”
Beyond asserting the legality of their actions, Kenafric has also reiterated its dedication to community uplifting, stating:
“As a proudly Kenyan company, Kenafric remains committed to uplifting the communities around us through positive and inclusive engagement with local stakeholders.”
