The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has recovered a prime parcel of land valued at Ksh45 million in Karen, Nairobi, after the court declared its private allocation illegal.
According to The 0.029-hectare property, located along Mukoma Road, had been designated for public utilities and the construction of an access road before it was unlawfully allocated to private individuals in 1996.
The land had originally been surrendered to the government in 1994.
In a ruling by Lady Justice Lucy Mbugua, the court found that the transfer of the land to private owners was fraudulent and nullified the transaction.
The judge ordered the cancellation of the title deed and directed that the land be registered under the Nairobi City County Government as a public utility.
