Kwale Environment and Land Court resumed the hearing of a case filed by EACC to recover 100 acres of Chale Island in Kwale County valued at Ksh 1 billion.
The land is believed to have been grabbed by private developers in collusion with Kwale Land Officials.
The hearing will continue for four consecutive days.
The said land was gazetted as a marine reserve and sacred groove but was illegally subdivided and transferred to private persons.
The Court has since granted orders sought by EACC prohibiting the defendants from interfering with the said land until the case is heard and determined by the Court.
