Garissa Senator Mohamed Yusuf Haji has rubbished claims of allegedly grabbing 84 acre piece of land in Mombasa.
Haji has termed the claims as pure propaganda.
Speaking at Dertu Secondary School in Garissa Town on Sunday, Haji said that he will formally address the claims when he appears before the inquest.
"It is pure malice and people should not give attention to it, I will respond fully when given chance by the inquest comittee," the senator said.
Pressure has been mounting on Director of Public Prosecutions Noordin Haji to probe his father over the land grabbing allegations.
Last week, squatters in Mombasa's Majaoni settlement Scheme accussed senator Haji of allegedly grabbing their 84 acre piece of land.
The squatters allege that senator Haji grabbed the land when he served as Coast Provincial Commissioner (PC) in the 1990s.
The National Lands Commission has since asked Senator Haji to respond to the allegations.
The commission is investigating cases of land injustices in the Coast going back to 1895.
