Senators want people who grabbed prison land prosecuted, with the help of the Director of Public Prosecution, Directorate of Criminal Investigations and the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission.
Samson Cherargei, Chairman of the Senate Committee on Justice, Legal Affairs and Human Rights, on Friday cited loss of property including at least eight hectares belonging to the Kilifi GK Prison.
“We [went] to Nairobi’s Industrial Area Prison and others in Eldoret and Kilifi and noticed that there are people who have grabbed land. Prisons across the country lack title deeds,” he said.
“We would like the DPP, EACC and the DCI to investigate ownership of parcels near the facilities,” he said and asked Lands Cabinet Secretary Farida Karoney to intervene.
Mr Cherargei said the land is needed for the expansion of the correctional facilities.
