DWA sisal plantation at Kibwezi, which was fairly well kept was compensated an average of Sh1.5 million per hectare, while Voi plantation Ltd whose plantation was poorly kept was compensated Sh24 million per hectare," the audit report.

It indicates that DWA sisal plantation was awarded Sh50 million for 32.69 hectares while Voi Plantation received Sh360 million for 14.96 hectares.

There are other over valued compensation and unexplained duplication of over-payments totalling Sh19 million. The irregularities are mainly in Eastern and Coast regions, where the compensation process is complete. For instance disbursement of land to the wrong people totalled Sh3.6 million.
