The EACC (Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission) is investigating the theft of a 26-acre plot from Nyabola Girls Secondary School in Rachuonyo, Homa Bay County.

According to a source at the commission, individuals linked with the Kenya Lake Conference of Seventh-day Adventists of the South Kenya Lake Field fraudulently bought the land. They converted it into SDA church premises.

According to the source, the land, registered in the name of the now-defunct South Nyanza Council (the forerunner to the current County Government of Homa Bay), also houses residential flats.


"On Friday, May 26, EACC officials from the Commission's South Nyanza regional office and the Land Registrar oversaw a boundary assessment exercise undertaken on the site by Rachuonyo Sub-County Surveyor," according to the source.

"The plot of land on which the Nyabola Girls Secondary School stands, which began as a public school in 1968 but has since been transformed into a private institution and renamed Nyabola SDA Secondary School."
