The Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) have said that they will reclaim the land that DP William Ruto’s Weston Hotel sits on as the parcel of land belongs to them.
The executive director Gilbert Kibe said that the land where the hotel is located is among the parcels of land that they wish to repossess and they are in court with regards to the same.
According to Kibe a letter was written in 2001 to the PS for land Nehemiah Ng’eno allocated the KCAA with the title for the land as it was attracting private developers.
This advise was ignored and the land was sold to Priority limited a company linked to Deputy president Ruto on August 30, 2002. He was in the ministry of Home affairs.
Economist and former NASA strategist David Ndii had called on President Uhuru Kenyatta to to lose one more friend in the name of the Deputy President and demolish the Weston Hotel and turn himself in after he was done.
KCAA has always been quiet about the ownership of land but the Executive Director said that the issue had been raised with the National Land Commission.
David Ndii Calls on Uhuru to Lose Ruto
NASA political strategist David Ndii has asked President Uhuru Kenyatta to reclaim Weston Hotel in the fight against corruption.
Following the government’s demolition of buildings including Southend Mall and Ukay Centre, members of the public have been putting other structures on the spot and demanding action by relevant authorities.
Ndii posted a photo of the hotel owned by Deputy President William Ruto on Twitter on Monday and wrote: “[Uhuru], this is public land. One more friend you need to lose. And once you are done with him, turn yourself in.”
He tagged the DP in the tweet on the hotel that is located in Lang’ata, Nairobi.
The DP admitted during an interview on Citizen TV that he is a shareholder in the hotel, which is opposite Wilson Airport.
@Ukenyatta this is public land. One more friend you need to lose. And once you are done with him, turn yourself in. https://t.co/fcWbKiZ50C pic.twitter.com/5ApCSFjxEv

Weston sits on public land and the transfer of the plot was done against the advice of senior government officials.
According to court and confidential government documents in possession of the Star, various companies were used to acquire the land.
Blogger Boniface Mwangi; As Long as Weston Stands, It is a symbol of impunity
Outspoken city blogger Boniface Mwangi has also weight in his opinion on the demolition of the hotel asking President Uhuru Kenyatta to demolish the property if he means business on war on corruption.
The land where the Weston Hotel stands belongs to @CAA_Kenya. If @UKenyatta is not being a hypocrite and if he means business, he should be ready to lose friends, including the DP @WilliamsRuto, by demolishing Weston Hotel. As long as the hotel stands, it’s a symbol of impunity. pic.twitter.com/ovx1YHhaep

When you say you’ll reclaim illegally acquired land, you don’t stop before the job is done. There is a Kikuyu saying that when you remove your clothes, you must shower. You don’t just wash your face, you wash… https://t.co/Vi3fB3SxVi
