The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has successfully recovered a Ksh35 million parcel of public land, registered as Bungoma Township/169, located next to the Bungoma State Lodge. The land, originally reserved for government housing, was fraudulently acquired by a private individual who demolished a government house and built a luxury maisonette.

• Bungoma Environment and Land Court, in a ruling on October 9, 2025, declared the half-acre plot's acquisition fraudulent and unlawful.
• The judgment by Justice Enock Cherono nullified all transactions and ordered the eviction of the unlawful occupant.
• The EACC revealed that investigations showed the land was irregularly allocated in 2004 to two individuals who then transferred it in 2016.
• The Commission is currently investigating at least 16 other prime public properties in Bungoma town.
