The Directorate of Criminal Investigations (DCI) has announced that it will investigate allegations of land fraud at the land owned by the East African Portland Cement in Mavoko, Machakos County.

In a press release issued on Tuesday, the DCI said that it had received credible information that some of the individuals being evicted from the land in question were innocent buyers who fell victim to fraudsters.

"Due to the magnitude of the Portland PLC matter, which involves significant personal losses for potentially innocent victims of land fraud and the swindling of millions of shillings, the DCI has established desks at the Athi River Police Station to collect relevant information and evidence that will aid in the investigations," the press release said.

The DCI has requested the affected members of the public to report to the Athi River Police Station immediately, carrying along any documentation or evidence in their possession that would aid in apprehending the land fraudsters, especially evidence of payments made to individuals who sold them land.

"We will work round the clock, recording statements from all aggrieved Kenyans who may have been swindled out of their money," the press release said.
