A tribunal has accused the National Lands Commission (NLC) of perpetuating a "conspiracy of silence" in a disputed irregular compensation of land worth over Sh90 million in Athi River Machakos County.

The land tribunal said that they were disappointed by NLC's failure to respond to the claim by Antony Mwandandu seeking compensation on his 0.79 hectares acquired by NLC for the expansion of the second carriageway of the Athi River - Machakos turnoff road project in 2017.
