Land Compensation Finalised

A resident of Kwale County finally received compensation for his land from the National Land Commission (NLC) thanks to the Commission. 

Mr. Edward Tunu complained to the Commission on behalf of Mwinyi Hamisi Mwalimu alleging the delay by the NLC to process compensation for land parcel number Kinango/ Mazeras/944 in Kwale acquired for purposes of the construction of the Standard Gauge Railway. The delay and the unresponsiveness from the NLC pushed him to complain to the Commission.

The Commission by way of inquiry and several correspondences between the Commission, the Kenya Railways, and NLC. Consequently, the Kenya Railways instructed NLC to utilise the compensation funds held in their accounts for SGR phase-one to pay all cleared and determined cases. The NLC eventually paid the full compensation amount of Kshs. 633,478 in September 2023 resolving the complaint.
