The Isahakia arrived from Somaliland in the entourage of Lord Delamere as porters and have lived as squatters since.
The community met in Naivasha to celebrate the good news. Community chairman Ali Faarah said they had
received all the land documents from the government.
“We were the first community in Naivasha. We have undergone untold suffering while seeking justice. We thank
God that we have finally received our land,” he said.
Former Nakuru mayor Mohammed Suraw called it one of the greatest days for the community. He said they are
looking forward to the subdivision, so everyone can settle.
“We thank God and the government for finally hearing the prayers of Isahakia who for years have waited for the elusive justice which they have finally received,” Grace Lenolkirna said.
