The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has obtained orders from the Kitale Environment and Lands Court to preserve four hectares (9.8 acres) of of a Kitale school land illegally allocated to the then Parents Teachers Association (PTA) chairperson in 1994.
This follows an investigation that revealed that the former PTA chair had obtained the school land in collusion with a former Commissioner of Lands.
Investigations conducted in 2023 ascertained the illegal hiving off and allocation of the public land that's planned and alienated for educational purposes.
In the orders issued on July 9, Judge Christopher Nzili ordered that the former PTA relinquish control of the land, including benefiting from the privately developed facilities.
