They are Peter Kahuho, the third-ranking officer after the CS and PS, and principal land administration officer Silas Mburugu. The six are being investigated by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission for, among other things, issuing fake title deeds. Last week EACC investigators searched their homes and offices.

On January 17, the High Court declared more than three million title deeds issued since 2013 to be illegal as they were irregularly processed.
