National Land Commission (NLC) chairman Muhammad Swazuri has promised to recover a section of Mbaraki Girls Primary School’s land.
This comes after he made an impromptu visit to the institution alongside Mombasa Lands CeC Anthony Njaramba.
Swazuri said an investor by the name Mr Waweru, Pandya Memorial Hospital, Samju Limited and madrassa owners are among the groups that had grabbed two acres of the school’s land.
He urged officials from the county not to tolerate land grabbers, and protect the property of the residents at all costs.
“We got a complaint from the management of this school that part of their land had been grabbed,” he said, as quoted by Nation.
He revealed that a map and an old fence designed around the institution indicate the land used to belong to the school before it was grabbed by the mentioned parties.
“The next portion that was taken was the madrassa. It was also taken together with Mbaraki Girls Nursery School which has now been turned into a social hall, allegedly by the community. A fence was built to separate the school from the two facilities,” he said.
