“This is an old story, this it has been here for years now .It is only you who has never been here to dine and sleep,” a source said.
Deputy President William Ruto has converted his private Karen home into an hotel pointing to interest the DP in the multi-million hotel industry in Kenya. According to sources, the hotel is the branch of Weston hotel situated on Langata Road and is said to provide the 5 star services to top notch clientele.
It is not clear if Ruto was anticipating that the National Land Commission would recommend revocation of the title deed the 0.773 hac plot where Weston hotel sits . The Kenya Civil Aviation Authority is claiming ownership of the land but in January this year,NLC said while the land belongs to KCAA ,it could not revoke the title deed but instate recommended that the DP compensate the state agency.
KCAA at the moment is undertaking valuation of the land before billing Ruto for the plot that was valued at Sh300 million as of last year.
Attempts to get a confirmation on when the DP turned his home into an hotel were not successful as his communication secretary David Muginyi opted to keep quiet when the question was put to him.
Ruto and his entire family moved out of his private home which sits a huge land in the exotic Karen estate to the sh 500 million official residence of the Deputy President official which is just 2km apart soon after renovations were completed in 2013.
