It is interesting that the average cost of land per acre in question is Kshs241,500,000. That is what the Government paid. In Ruaraka, land is going for Kshs241,500,000 per acre. This House needs to quickly pass the Land Value Index Bill so that we provide guidelines on values for compulsory acquisition compensation.

The NLC failed to gazette and carry out inquiries as per Section 112(1) of the Lands Act. Part VIII of the Lands Act require that if you are going to conduct compulsory acquisition, you must first do a notice of intention to acquire and serve all parties relevant to that matter; the schools, the community and everybody else. Later on, you must conduct an inquiry which must be gazetted. They failed to do so, hence violated the Lands Act.

The NLC never bothered to engage the administration or the boards of the schools concerned. When we visited the schools, the principals and the chairpersons of the boards of management told us that the only time they saw NLC was when they went to put up the beacons. They were hopeful that they were finally going to get their title deeds. Little did they know that they were to be used as pawns in a very complicated case of corruption.
