EACC RECOVERS PUBLIC LAND WORTH KES.305M GRABBED FROM KISITE ISLANDS, KWALE COUNTY.
The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has reportedly recovered public land worth Kes.305 Million.
According to EACC, the land was illegally acquired from Kisite Mpunguti Marine Reserve in Kwale County.
The property, reports seen by the k47 news team says comprises four (4) islands within the Kisite/Mpunguti Marine National Reserve, which is a protected, reserved, and gazetted area under the management and conservation of the Kenya Wildlife Service (KWS).
The islands is said to have been recovered through the Commission’s Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) mechanism which facilitates suspects in possession of public property to enter into negotiations with the Commission on terms of voluntary surrender of the stolen property.
EACC says, Pwani Holdings Resort Limited, Bantus Investment Limited, and Pangos Limited have returned the original titles to the Commission to facilitate cancellation and fresh registration under KWS.
“The Commission encourages all other persons illegally holding public property to take advantage of the ADR mechanism to resolve disputes as opposed to waiting for a lengthy and costly litigation process.” Said EACC.
