The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has successfully recovered a parcel of public land in Kakamega Municipality valued at Ksh20 million. The land, measuring 0.9 hectares, was originally set aside for housing civil servants under the Ministry of Housing.
The Land Commissioner then oversaw the subdivision of the land into three parcels in 1996, and one plot was leased to a private owner for 99 years.
According to court documents, the parcel in question-Kakamega Municipality Block 111/100-was registered on December 28, 1974.
It was classified as trust land, meaning it was not to be allocated or transferred to private individuals under any circumstances.
