National Land Commission (NLC) chairman Muhammad Swazuri colluded with fraudsters to pay more than Sh1 billion in compensation claims for land that belonged to the government, MPs heard yesterday.
Land Cabinet Secretary Jacob Kaimenyi said the commission may have used “fake or non-existent” letters of allotments, Part Development Plans (PDP) and Survey Plans as a basis for making compensation worth Sh300 million for five parcels of land that lie along the railway corridor reserve in Embakasi.
