Interior Cabinet Secretary Kipchumba Murkomen has issued a stern warning to judicial officers facilitating land-grabbing activities in Kilifi County.
Speaking in Kilifi on Wednesday, April 9, the CS said that judicial officers in the county have played a key role in creating land issues by either issuing conflicting court orders during a land dispute or issuing orders in an adverse position.
Orders of adverse possession allow a person who has unlawfully occupied another person's land for a continuous period of at least 12 years to legally apply for registration rights over the property.
Murkomen said that he intends to engage with Chief Justice Martha Koome to ensure that officers engaging in corruption and aiding land-grabbing in the county are held accountable.
