A court determined that a company associated with President William Ruto unlawfully obtained 1,643 acres of land in Ruai, valued at Ksh 13 billion.
The original plan was to use the land for the expansion of Nairobi’s sewer system. This case contributed to the fallout between Ruto and former President Uhuru Kenyatta before the 2022 elections.
The court rules that a company associated with President William Ruto lost its claim to 1,643 acres of land in Ruai, valued at Ksh 13 billion, due to its illegal acquisition.
The land originally meant for the Nairobi City sewer system expansion was one of the cases that contributed to the fallout between Ruto and former President Uhuru Kenyatta prior to the 2022 elections.
Interior CS Kithure Kindiki had reversed a directive by the Uhuru administration that gazetted the contested land as a protected property and instead issued a new gazette notice on December 15, 2023, paving the way for sub-division of the land and private use.
