The land agency wants Chief Justice David Maraga to assign judges to determine ownership of the controversial Ruaraka land.

Through senior counsel Tom Ojienda, the National Land Commission (NLC) argued that the dispute whether the 13.5 acres on which Ruaraka High School and Drive-In Primary School are built is private or public land was a weighty issue that could only be determined by a three-judge bench.
