Individuals laying claim to land at the Kibarani dumpsite in Mombasa County have been asked to show proof of ownership before a special inquiry that begins on August 15.

National Lands Commission (NLC) Chairman Muhamad Swazuri yesterday issued a seven-day notice to all those laying claim to the land to present tangible evidence of how they acquired the property.

Swazuri was acting on a presidential directive after President Uhuru Kenyatta directed NLC to revoke the allocation of the dumpsite land in Mombasa to private developers.
