A case in which a lands officer in Kisumu Lands Office was charged with others for allegedly having conspired to
defraud the government of its land of the controversy ridden and moribund Miwani Sugar Factory, has put the
government on the spot.
Legal experts and human rights activists in Kisumu wants the government to shed light over the criteria which has been
used to retain the Kisumu Land Valuer Mr. Philip Odongo Kabita in office.
After he had appeared in court and bailed to the tune of staggering Kshs.2.5 million the civil servants ethics act stipulates that he, Kabita should pave way until the case is determined.
Sources within the Lands Office however confided to the press that Kabitas seniors both in Nairobi and Kisumu have adviced him to stay put adding that whatever the consequences they will rally behind him.
The said Lands Officer is said to be fighting hard round the clock to ensure he doesnt pave way as demanded by
law.
Every evening he has been spotted doing goat eating sessions with high powered intelligence chiefs and top CID officers
all in a desperate bid to maintain status quo.
