The owner of the Sh3.2 billion land at the centre of a raging controversy yesterday told Parliament that he was ready to refund money already paid to him in exchange for his land.

Francis Mburu cited frustration by State agencies in seeking compensation for the land, saying he could refund the Sh1.5 billion he was paid and proceed to demolish all the structures on the land, including Ruaraka Secondary and Drive In Primary schools.
