Sh1.5bn Ruaraka land scandal: EACC fights supreme court appeal
EACC says the firms seek to turn factual and evidential disputes into constitutional questions.
The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has challenged a Supreme Court appeal filed by two companies connected to the late businessman Francis Mburu. Huelands Limited and Afrison Export Import Limited sought to overturn a Court of Appeal ruling declaring a Sh1.5 billion payment to them unlawful compensation for 13.5 acres of land taken over by Drive-In Primary School and Ruaraka High School.
The EACC argues the case does not present any constitutional issue requiring the apex court's involvement. The case highlights the disparity between legal provisions and contractual agreements, emphasizing that political connections often supersede other factors.
