Court rules Survey boss unfit for job over Karen land scam
Tuesday March 16 2021
Summary
Justice Nelson Abuodha ruled that the Ministry of Lands erred in promoting Polly Wanjiku Gitimu alias Pauline despite the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) recommending charges against her for the fraudulent transfer of the 134-acre land.
The judge reckoned the questions over her integrity remained despite the fraud charges having been dropped on a technicality linked to the composition of the EACC board.
Ms Gitimu was among officials, including former Lands Cabinet Secretary Charity Ngilu (now Kitui county governor), who had been charged with facilitating double allocations in the Sh8 billion Karen land, which is claimed by several people.
