EACC detectives raid Swazuri’s home over graft claims
Anti corruption detectives have raided the home of National Land Commission chairman Muhammad Swazuri.
Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission spokesman Yasin Aila said the raid was occasioned by suspected graft in compensating individuals and institutions affected by the Standard Gauge Railway project.
Also raided are homes of vice chairman Abigael Mbagaya Mukolwe and chief executive officer Tom Aziz Changingi.
The homes of several top managers were also raided.
NLC is also being investigated by the National Assembly Lands Committee because of the large payments made in December last year.
The Commission’s secretariat was accused of withholding information on the matter.
Among the plots of land were at least five parcels in Embakasi valued at a combined Sh215 million.
