Thursday, January 18, 2024 - President William Ruto has fulfilled the wish of his former classmate, Emily Jepkemei.
This is after he assisted her
in reclaiming ownership of a disputed 20-acre piece of land near Eldoret
Airport.
Jepkemei is among five parties
who are claiming ownership of the disputed property in a case that has dragged
in court for years.
On Monday, the woman was
captured on video conversing with President Ruto during his tour in Eldoret, seeking his help over the matter.
Reports indicated that she
urged the president to assist her in repossessing the 20-acre piece of
land.
At the same event, Ruto
summoned Kapseret MP Oscar Sudi, who, according to Jepkemei, was instructed to
sort the issue.
"I was his former
classmate and when he came to greet me, I informed him of my situation and
sought his help. I also informed him that Sudi knew the ownership wrangles
involving the property.
"At that moment, Ruto
summoned Sudi and instructed him to sort the issue in great haste.
On Wednesday, Sudi led a group
of youth in demolishing structures erected on the piece of land.
This raised questions from the
occupants of the piece of land who claimed that the MP violated a ruling by the
court which deemed another resident of the region as the rightful owner.
"We have a title deed. We
went to court and the court deemed that the status quo should remain the
same," the resident explained.
"We have the legal
documents but they have not produced theirs. The politician now claims that we
are criminals."
In a rejoinder, Sudi claimed
that he would not allow alleged graft in the court system in Eldoret
to prevail.
The legislator dared anyone who
sought to dispute the action to face him over the matter.
