Swazuri team fights arrest warrant, Sh1m fine for contempt

The chairman of the National Land Commission (NLC) moved to court Wednesday seeking to overturn a warrant of arrest and fines imposed on him and three other commissioners for contempt.

Mr Mohamed Swazuri and commissioners Tomiik Mbuya, Abigail Mbagaya and Emma Muthoni Njogu told the court that their conviction in absentia was erroneous since they had not been personally served with the intention to cite them.
