Prime parcels of land owned by Kenya Ports Authority (KPA) worth Sh2.9 billion have been grabbed by tycoons or invaded by squatters, a parliamentary committee has revealed.

According to the Public Investment Committee (PIC) oversight team, 17 parcels of land were either idle or lacking title deeds, making it easy for the grabbers to invade them.
