The county government plans to petition Parliament to allow it use as a graveyard the 67-acre forest near the filled-up 100-acre Langata cemetery. KFS said the government allocated the old Nairobi City Council 50 acres in the 1990s to expand the cemetery. It has asked City Hall to account for the land. Speaking to the Star at City Hall on Monday, Khaemba said there are no records that the national government gave City Hall 50 acres. “I have tried perusing all files that are here, [but the 50 acres are] nowhere in the records,” Khaemba said.
