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.
