Taxpayers have been slapped with a Sh464 million bill over government's irregular acquisition of a private land in Kilifi to settle squatters in order to sway the public vote in favour of the government in the 2007 General Elections.
The Supreme Court has awarded the owner of the property, Zinj Limited, a sum of Sh464,973,248 for the irregular acquisition of its 126-acre land and issuance of duplicate title deeds to third parties.
