The Government has started the process of acquiring a piece of land that had threatened to derail the multi-billion-shilling Lamu Port-Southern Sudan-Ethiopia Transport project.
National Land Commission (NLC) Chairman Muhammad Swazuri has gazetted the intention to acquire the 100ha land at Mokowe in Lamu County that it had initially repossessed in 2011, only for the courts to return it to its owner - Nightshade Properties.
