Kisumu, Kenya: The National Land Commission (NLC) has launched operations to reclaim grabbed land belonging to the Migori County Government from dishonest individuals and groups.
Speaking during the swearing in ceremony for seven members of the county land management board, NLC Director Leonard Omulo said the newly formed team is tasked with reclaiming all grabbed public parcels.
"The board is an independent body that shall be tasked to attend to all land cases in the county level in co-ordination with the NLC," he said.
