    "content": "without being in the Budget and for it to just appear in the Supplementary Budget for regularisation? The Committee also observed that the Principal Secretary of the National Treasury authorised these payment of public funds for compulsory acquisition of the land occupied by the two schools without a clear and formal request from the institutions that should have done so. This Committee made several recommendations. Based on these recommendations, the chairperson, commissioners and all other officers of the NLC should take personal responsibility for acting contrary to Section 107(1) of the Lands Act, 2012 as the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology made a request for compulsory acquisition of the land in question on the behest of the Commission; not on its own motion. It is the NLC that asks the ministry. That is not in order. So, they should take responsibility. The NLC acted contrary to Section 112 of the Lands Act, 2012 by failing to conduct public participation. It is a shame that the head teacher of the primary school and the principal of the secondary school that were being acquired do not have information. They just get to know because they have gotten a letter from the EACC. The NLC acted contrary to Section 121 of the Lands Act, 2012 by failing to secure the interests of the Government on the land in terms of ensuring that the title documents in respect of the land being acquired were delivered to the Registrar of Lands and registered. It is the responsibility of Government to take care of its interests. Since this responsibility has been to the Government officers, it is important that people who do not do that take responsibility. The NLC acted contrary to Article 201(e) of the Constitution for irresponsible financial management by recommending the payment of Kshs1.5 billion as part payment for the compulsorily acquired land and an amount that needed not to have been paid noticing that the Commission had not even secured the interests of Government. The NLC acted contrary to Article 201(d) of the Constitution for loss of public funds being Kshs48,142,200 over and above what Afrison Import Export Ltd and Huelands Ltd should have been paid."
