“In the suit, EACC has 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 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.
EACC wants the Court 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,” said EACC
