In a process of asset recovery, Nelly Matheka has reportedly granted Ethic and Ant-corruption Commission EACC orders preserving public land worth Kes.150M grabbed from the Kenya Broadcasting Corporation in Mombasa pending hearing of the recovery case.
According to a statement by EACC seen by K47 news team, the land was reserved for the extension of VoK, the predecessor Kenya Broadcast Corporation (@KBCChannel1).
In the law suit, EACC is reported to have sued Francis Waiganjo Kimanga, Lucy Wanjiru Kimanga, and their company Kensko Agro Produce Ltd which was fraudulently allocated the land by former Commissioner of Lands Wilson Gachanja.
The named Kimangas are said to be the Directors and shareholders of the company.
“The former Lands Commissioner Wilson Gachanja is sued in his personal capacity on account of fraud, illegality, and acting beyond his powers. Owing to his conduct, the KBC property has been illegally put to private use and rendered unavailable for the intended public purpose.” The statement reads in part.
EACC seeks Court assistance to declare that all the transactions relating to the allocation and sub-division of the KBC land were fraudulent, illegal, null and void, and incapable of passing any lawful right, title, or interest over the property to the Defendants or any other person.
