EACC to recover secondary school land grabbed by SDA officials in Homa Bay

The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) is in the process of recovering a 26-acre piece of land that had allegedly been stolen from Nyabola Girls Secondary School in Rachuonyo, Homa Bay County.

A source at the commission told Citizen Digital that persons associated with the Kenya Lake Conference of the Seventh Day Adventists of the South Kenya Lake Field fraudulently acquired the land and transformed it into an SDA church premises.

The source said that the land, which is registered under the name of the now defunct South Nyanza Council (the precursor to the current County Government of Homa Bay), reportedly also houses residential apartments.

"EACC on Friday, May 26, oversaw a boundary determination exercise undertaken on the site by Rachuonyo Sub-County Surveyor in the presence of EACC Officials from the Commission’s South Nyanza regional office and the Land Registrar," noted the source.

"The parcel of land that stands the Nyabola Girls Secondary School, which started in 1968 as a public school but has since been converted into a private institution and renamed Nyabola SDA Secondary School."
