National Land Commission Chairman Mohammed Swazuri has revealed that he has no regrets with the way he has led the land commission.
Swazuri, whose tenure ends next month, said he has no regrets over his work at the NLC.
While speaking during a media address in Iten he said, “Even if people say what they want, I am proud to have been the first chairman of the NLC and I have done my best with my commission on land matters in this country. Even if there are those who don’t want to hear that, it will always remain a fact.”
He further added saying, during his tenure NLC has managed to recover 6,000 land titles for public land that had been grabbed.
In addition he said, the commission had facilitated 80 major public projects costing more than Sh40 billion.
He said the NLC has managed to resolve perennial land problems in the country even though such issues will always exist.
He said the commission needs more than Sh7 billion annually to facilitate its work but they had been receiving about Sh2 billion every year.
“Go to all areas where we have worked and no one will tell you that Swazuri is a thief. We have done good things for Kenyans and I will talk about it everywhere I go,” Swazuri said.
Swazuri, added saying that his leadership has been driven by the fear and respect of God in ensuring that he followed the law in the NLC work.
He said the latest move where an anti-corruption court barred him from accessing his office was part of the plot to undermine and frustrate his work ahead of his exit from office.
Swazuri and 16 other people face charges in court over the alleged conspiracy to defraud the government Sh221.3 million, abuse of office, breach of trust and fraudulent acquisition of public property.
