By JOSEPH WANGUIMore by this AuthorA 79-year-old man has been convicted by a Nyeri court for forging land ownership documents and fraudulently obtaining registration from the Ministry of Lands. LEASEThe magistrate noted that Mr Ikiki falsely became the owner of a plot measuring quarter of an acre which was initially registered and owned by Kenya African Othaya Bus Union (KAOBU). Mr Ikiki committed the offence on March 14, 2011 jointly with others not before the court, prosecution said. He was accused of conspiring to defraud KAOBU of its land by falsely registering the same as his property. Mr Ikiki faced a third count, which stated that he obtained land registration document and number by falsely pretending that he acquired the said land legally from KAOBU, a fact he knew was false.
