I WAS UNDER PRESSURE TO FIND LAND FOR PF SECRETARIAT – JUDGE

DISMISSED High Court Judge Wilfred Muma testified that while working at the Ministry of Lands, he received several “knocks” from Patriotic Front (PF) members who wanted land for construction of their secretariat.

Mr Muma narrated that among the people who queried him over the land in 2018 included then Vice-President Inonge Wina and ex- Minister of Lands and Natural Resources Jean Kapata.

“Madam Inonge Wina… also expressed concerns over the delay in allocating land
to build the PF secretariat, among other things I discussed with her.

“There were numerous knocks from officers sent from PF secretariat and mostly from the minister [of Lands], then Honourable Jean Kapata, on my door to find this piece of land.

“Honourable Jean Kapata would call me [saying] ‘you haven’t found land. We are under pressure’,” the former Commissioner of Lands narrated.
