The Cabinet Secretary for Lands, Public Works, Housing and Urban Development, Alice Wahome, has warned that there is no free land for squatters to illegally invade.
Addressing the issue of more than 5,000 acres of land earmarked for the construction of the Ksh2 trillion Dangote East Africa Oil Refinery in Lamu, Wahome said the government’s commitment to compensate legitimate landowners and squatters does not give individuals the right to invade private or public land and expect compensation from the government.
She disclosed a multi-agency team has been established to verify legitimate landowners in areas where the refinery and other planned developments will be constructed.
