The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) has taken legal action to reclaim a nine-acre parcel of public land in Ruiru, Kiambu County. This land, originally intended for a school, was illegally converted for residential use and subdivided into 37 residential plots. The EACC filed a lawsuit in the Thika Environment and Land Court, which has since issued temporary injunctions to stop the sale or development of the property, valued at Ksh250 million in 2019. In a separate anti-corruption operation, the EACC arrested five Kenyan traffic police officers along the Busia-Kisumu Road. The arrests were for allegedly extorting bribes from motorists and followed numerous public complaints about widespread bribery.
