A senior director of survey at the Ministry of Lands has been declared unfit to hold public office for engaging in land fraud.
Justice Nelson Abuodha ruled that it would be against the principles of good governance to allow Polly Wanjiku Gitimu alias Pauline to hold the position of director of surveys when her integrity had been questioned, with mentions of fraudulent transfer of the 134-acre land in Karen, Nairobi County.
“Since there are unresolved issues on her involvement in fraud relating to land transfers, she is unfit to hold the position of director of surveys in any capacity. To ignore such serious allegations and allow her to hold the position will be against Chapter 6 of the Constitution,” ruled Justice Abuodha.
