The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has recovered 12 parcels of grabbed public land worth Ksh320 million.

In a statement released on Friday, June 20, the anti-graft body revealed that the recovered prime parcels had been grabbed in Bungoma and Kakamega counties.

According to the EACC, the land in question had consisted of government houses and was acquired by private individuals in collusion with public officials.

The recovered parcels are believed to be just the tip of the iceberg, as the EACC revealed that land grabbing remains a prevalent issue in Western Kenya.
