A source told the Nation Monday that data in the computer, housed at the NLC’s Department of Valuation and Taxation, had no backup. Prof Swazuri was also required to give an undertaking not to interfere with the records and documents relevant to the case. This is the second high-profile corruption case in recent months whose documents have gone missing, after those in the Kenya Power faulty transformers case disappeared. “When we ask the NLC for records on a particular land transaction they always comply," EACC spokesperson Yasin Amaro told the Nation. Already, its embattled chairman and other officials have been charged in court with irregularly paying out Sh221.3 million in standard gauge railway (SGR) land compensation.
