Residents of Magumu in Nyandarua County protested plans by a developer to establish a private cemetery on a 69-acre parcel of land, blocking the Naivasha–Nairobi highway.

• The proposed cemetery would lease units for Sh130,000 and single graves for 50 years.
• Key figures opposing the project include Nyandarua CECM for Lands Stephen Mburu Kinyanjui and local MCAs.
• Locals and officials argue the land was originally intended for tree planting and advocate for community benefit projects like a technical training institution or market.
