An officer at the Ministry of Lands at the coast has declined to honour instructions from her superiors to go on a transfer. Mombasa deputy lands registrar Josephine Rama has allegedly refused to move from her workstation to Nairobi headquarters, a move that has shocked many of her colleagues at the ministry.
The transfers touched dozens of officers but Josephine Rama’s refusal to move to Nairobi surprised her fellow workers in Mombasa and even at the Ardhi house. Rama is a native of the Coast and formerly served at Kajiado lands offices before she was transferred to Mombasa six years ago. She is allegedly boasting that she can`t move and that the transfer to Nairobi is just cosmetic. “Madam Rama has totally refused to move from here to Nairobi and says that she`s here to stay and claims that she has senior government officials at the headquarters who can`t allow her to moved. She has even mentioned senior officers like Mr Nyandoro and Clara Kadianga,” said our source.
Clara Kadianga is a senior officer in the human resource department at the land’s ministry, she works closely with Principal Secretary Nixon Korir when it comes to transfers of land officers. Rama is said to enjoy good life which is in abundance at her current work station, she is alleged to have been involved in a number of land corruption deals at the coast.
A good example, as explained to us by our source is a transaction involving the charge of property worth Ksh.5 million in the Nyali area where it’s claimed that after the deal was done, she went for a shopping tour in Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

At the same time, several people in the Matungulu sub-county of Machakos county have called on the lands registrar in the area to speed up the issuance of land titles as many fake land dealers and brokers have started flocking the area and conning unsuspecting members of the public. A good example, according to area residents is the area behind KBC masks where its alleged fake land dealers including some claiming to be Pastors are fleecing members of the public out of their hard-earned money with claims that they are selling them land knowing very well the land belongs to other people. One of the Church leaders, according to a resident Samson Odhiambo is on the police radar and under investigation for this offence.
