Muhammad Swazuri has maintained that the compensation for Ruaraka school land was above board and that the NLC’s value was the lowest.
The 13.7 acre piece of land neighbours GSU headquarters, De La Rue and the Kenya School of Monetary Studies.
Two private firms – Afrison Export-Import Limited and Huelands Limited – as well as Ruaraka High and Drive Inn Primary schools have claimed the property.
Swazuri emphasised his position in a statement on Tuesday, in which he insisted that the National Land Commission adhered to the law and was confident that justice had been served.
The chair noted “conflicting and misleading” reports in the media on the issue of the compensation.
“The NLC wishes to set the record straight and assure the public that this process duly followed the law and was above board,” he said.
The NLC boss explained that former Education CS Fred Matiangi authorised the NLC’s acquisition of the land, registration LR No. 7879/4.
