Mathira MP Rigathi Gachagua (pictured) has defended his company’s ownership of a Sh1.5 billion land near Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.

Gachagua argues in his reply that John Michael Ohas, a former director of physical planning at the Lands ministry, had filed a claim before the National Lands Commission which in 2016 found that the MP’s company, Wamunyoro Investments Limited, owned the land.
