Ex-PC Jailed 14 Years for Ksh1.35B Land Fraud

A former Nairobi Provincial Commissioner has been sentenced to 14 years in prison for his role in a Ksh1.35 billion land fraud case. Davis Nathan Chelogo was found guilty of six offences, including conspiracy to defraud and forgery.

The court heard that Chelogo had attempted to acquire a 7.39-hectare parcel of land in Lower Kabete, Nairobi, using forged documents. The land is valued at Ksh1.35 billion and belongs to businessmen Ashok Rupshi Shah and Hitenkumar Amritlal Raja.

The sentences for the various offences will run concurrently. The court also ordered the Land Registrar to cancel any parallel title or registration issued in respect of the property.
