The Ministry of Lands has recalled crucial records from the National Land Commission (NLC) to “undertake an annual audit”.

Lands Principal Secretary Nicholas Muraguri, in recalling the files, cited implementation of an Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) recommendation for the ministry “to undertake an annual audit of all land records at the beginning of each year to ascertain the current status of land records in registries”.
