DAILY POST: NLC angers Kenyans with its ridiculous decision on RUTO’s Weston Hotel that stands on grabbed public land! Look at the verdict? Heads must roll News 02:38

Friday January 25, 2019-The National Land Commission has established that Deputy President William Ruto's Weston Hotel stands on grabbed public land belonging to Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA).

However, the commission has allowed Ruto to have both the hotel plus the land on condition that he pays Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) for the land at current market rates.  In 2018, the disputed piece of land was valued at Ksh300 million. KCAA has, however, rejected the decision by NLC to hand the hotel and the land to Ruto stating that it was not interested in compensation and would push for the hotel to be demolished.  Through KCAA Corporate Secretary, Cyril Wayong’o, the KCAA said the parastatal Board of Directors will sit and consider an appeal, saying the decision by NLC may set a bad precedent.  "It will mean going forward that somebody can just grab public land and allege that he or she is an innocent purchaser, and thereafter decide to compensate, which is wrong," he stated. The move has also angered Kenyans who wanted the hotel demolished. According to the air travel regulator, the hotel which is just opposite Wilson Airport is a safety hazard.
