Sh1.3bn fraud: Senior Ministry of Lands official released on bond
The Court of Appeal has suspended the hearing of a dispute over an 18-acre parcel of land, which is being claimed by a former provincial commissioner, pending the determination of an appeal filed by two businessmen.
A senior Lands Ministry official has been released on bond after spending more than five days in custody on charges of conspiring to defraud a businessman of a Sh1.3 billion piece of land in Loresho, Nairobi.
Mr Andrew Kirungu, an assistant director land administrator, was ordered by a Nairobi court to pay a Sh5 million bond or an alternative cash bail of Sh1.5 million to secure his release.
