National Land Commission (NLC) Chair Mohammed Swazuri has been arrested.
This comes moments after the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) Noordin Haji approved charges against the NLC boss on the Standard Gauge Railway land compensation, alongside six others.
Reports reaching Pulselive.co.ke indicate that Dr. Swazuri has been arrested together with Kenya Railway Corporation (KRC) Managing Director Atanas Maina by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission detectives.
Few jobs demand as much courage as guarding a political figure who divides opinion as strongly as Raila Odinga. Both George and Maurice faced moments where politics turned hostile and threats were real.
Raila is known as an enigmatic figure, a man who has been at the centre of Kenyan politics for a lifetime, a fighter who has also wielded immense power, an outsider who became the ultimate insider, and a leader whose final chapter in an epic political saga came to a close on October 15, 2025, when he passed away in India.
Kenya has declared a public holiday to honour the late former Prime Minister Raila Amolo Odinga, as announced in a Kenya Gazette notice signed by Interior CS Kipchumba Murkomen
“The DPP has consented to charges against National Land Commission (NLC) Chair Dr Swazuri and others in relation to compensation,” read a tweet from the DPP’s office.
