The ghost of land compensation continues to haunt former NLC boss Muhammad Swazuri into retirement as he is set to appear in court afresh today. The former National land Commission chairman Swazuri is expected to be charged with 23 other suspects. The Director of Public Prosecutions Noordin Haji alleges that Swazuri instigated the acquisition of the property at inflated costs leading to loss of taxpayer's money. The DPP said of the total amount of money sent by Kenha to the commission, Swazuri authorised Sh55.2 million to be wired to Tornado Carriers Limited while Sh54.5 million was sent to C.W. Among those lined up for prosecution include former NLC commissioner Emma Njogu, deputy director valuation and taxation Joash Oindo, Salome Munubi, director finance Francis Mugo and advocate Catherine Chege.
