President William Ruto has defended his move to transfer idle land from some public institutions others that can make use of it.
Ruto defended the government's decision to transfer land from state agencies such as Kenya Prisons to the Ministry of Lands, a decision that has drawn sharp criticism from some Kenyans.
The president, who spoke at the opening of the Central Bank of Kenya Police Housing Complex, said it was not in his administration's desire to allow government agencies to hold idle land while others could make better use of it. "I do not see why another government agency should hold land that could otherwise be beneficial to another government agency," Ruto said.
