EACC spokesperson Eric Ngumbi with other officials in Nyahururu town
By Kenya News Agency
The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has recovered and reverted a 2.5-acre piece of land valued at Sh110 million that 12 private individuals had taken from Nyahururu, Laikipia County.
EACC Spokesperson Eric Ngumbi revealed that land was reserved for the Nyahururu bus park and had been irregularly, illegally, and unlawfully alienated to favour private individuals.
The parcel of land, which had been earmarked for the construction of a multi-million-dollar mall, has now been reverted to the Laikipia County Government, which is the rightful owner.
The land parcels were illegally allocated to private developers who had commenced commercial developments, including the construction of a mega shopping mall.
The EACC launched investigations after receiving a complaint from Mitumba traders in Nyahururu Town on February 21, 2022.
The land was originally donated by the Catholic Archdiocese of Nyeri for the construction of Ngare Naro Primary School in 1972.
The court delivered a consent judgement and issued declarations and orders revoking all titles held by the 12 individuals.
The Commission is currently in the process of transferring the land back to the Laikipia County Government.
