The ownership of up to 70 percent of the Dandora dumpsite landmass is shrouded in mystery after it emerged that the county government of Nairobi possesses ownership documents for only 15.02 hectares out of the total land size approximated to be 50 hectares.

In her report for the County executive of Nairobi city for the financial year ending June 2023, Auditor General Nancy Gathungu sounded alarm stating that the county risks loss or misappropriation of the asset if the ownership is not regularised.
