A multi-agency team is investigating howtwo prime ocean front parcels of landbelonging to Kenya Railways at the Shimanzi port in Mombasa ended up in private hands.

The Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP), the National Land Commission (NLC), Survey of Kenya and the Director of Criminal Investigations suspect a lease document was forged using a false order from President Mwai Kibaki to steal the multi-million shilling property three weeks to the March 4, 2013 General Election.
