The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has successfully reclaimed public land and a house in Nakuru Town, which were fraudulently acquired by a former Member of Parliament. The recovered half-acre plot, located behind Taidys Hotel in Nakuru City, was originally planned, reserved, and used for government housing known as St. Xavier Estate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recovery marks the 21st out of 24 prime government properties the EACC has been working to reclaim. Efforts to recover the remaining three units are still ongoing in court.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During a press briefing held on the recovered land on Friday, EACC Spokesperson Eric Ngumbi explained that the commission decided to take legal action after repeated warnings to vacate the land were ignored. Investigations revealed that the land was illegally obtained by the then Commissioner of Lands, Wilson Gachanja, on June 30, 1994, and was subsequently transferred to former Aldai Member of Parliament, Jim Choge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Justice Mwangi Njoroge of the Nakuru Environment and Land Court ruled in favor of the EACC, confirming the commission’s right to reclaim the property.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ngumbi emphasized the EACC’s commitment to recovering all illegally acquired government land and warned individuals occupying such properties to surrender them or face legal consequences. “The commission will not relent in its efforts to reclaim public land that has been unlawfully acquired. We urge those sitting on government land to surrender it voluntarily or they will meet the full force of the law,” he stated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This recovery is part of the EACC’s broader initiative to ensure that public assets are returned to their rightful use and serve the public interest. The commission continues to work diligently to address corruption and illegal land acquisitions across the country<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
