According to the Governor, the County DCI officers have
been interfering in land matters where he further claimed that the
officers had threatened the residents.
He alleged that the land grabbers were using the DCI
officers from the region to harass natives.
However, he cautioned the officers stating that land matters
were outside their jurisdiction, adding that the county already had laws,
regulations, and frameworks to solve such problems.
“This story about threats from people from DCI, I don’t want
to hear them, we have County laws, and we have our by-laws,” stated Mung’aro.
According to the residents, the DCI has been summoning them
randomly to their offices under the guise of other charges only for them to
find land matters as the issue being solved in the offices.
While making his remarks, Mung'aro vowed that
any building erected illegally would be demolished.
He added that acquiring permits to build was the sole
responsibility of the county and any eviction notice or demolition
authorisation would have to come from the relevant offices.
“If you build without a permit, we will bring the buildings
down, if you build a wall or a storey house, we will bring it down,” cautioned
Mung’aro.
This comes after residents of the area faced eviction
notices which they allege are from business tycoons.
The residents explained that the tycoons claim to be well-connected with high-ranking officials from the country's top security agencies
and senior national government officials.
Mung’aro has since called for a meeting with the regional
DCI heads and land officials to deliberate on the matter.
