Thursday, March 21, 2024 - An elderly man was arrested and remanded for 12 days after he led residents in Naivasha in protests, as they desperately tried to recover their ancestral land in Naivasha currently owned by President William Ruto.

The area Member of Parliament Jane Kihara insists that Ruto is the bonafide owner of the 5000-acre piece of land.

She claims that Ruto genuinely bought the land from former Moi-era diplomat Benjamin Kulei.

However, in a ruling issued by the high court in Nakuru in August 2023, Kulei lost his claim to the land, with the court stating that he failed to provide the land sale agreement to support his claim. 

Kulei had indicated that he bought the land from various individuals in 2007 who were allotted the property by the Agricultural Development Corporation. 

Justice Lynette Omollo ruled that neither Kulei nor the said individuals presented sufficient evidence to prove ownership.
