Court ruled that an action by the National Land Commission validating their actions rendered the charges defective.
Mr Gachanja and Mr Lagat had been charged in connection to a joint venture that saw taxpayers lose more than Sh100 million.
In the venture, 12 parcels of land valued at Sh92.5 million belonging to KAA were alienated and irregularly allocated.
Former Commissioner of Lands Wilson Gachanja and former Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) Managing Director Peter Lagat have been cleared of fraud charges.
Mr Gachanja and Mr Lagat had been charged together with former President Moi’s aide Joshua Kulei and former Kenya Pipeline Company (KPC) Managing Director Ezekiel Komen, in connection to a joint venture that saw taxpayers lose more than Sh100 million.
