THE NDUNGU REPORT
The Ndungu Commission on Illegal and Irregular allocation of
public land provides an insight into a critical, recent episode in the
struggles over ‘land’ and ‘graft’ in Kenya. To put it in the latest context, it
is first worth noting that on the ‘graft’ front, the Commission can chalk up
one partial victory in that its exposures have lead to the return of tracts of
land to public action by politicians, including former President Moi. However,
the limits of the larger fight against corruption was underlined when John
Githong’o resigned his government position as Commissioner against Corruption.
But the story the Ndungu Commission unfolded is also a chapter in another very
broad issue in Kenya’s political economy – land.
