Attorney General Kihara Kariuki wants the Ministry of Education and National Lands Commission (NLC) investigated for their role in a Sh2.4 billion land deal.

Speaking yesterday when he appeared before National Assembly’s Land Committee, the AG said the two institutions should be investigated to ascertain if they followed the law in the compulsory acquisition of 13.5 acres at Ruaraka, Nairobi, on which Ruaraka Secondary School and Drive Inn Primary School sit.
