Friday, August 15,
2025 - Former KTN journalist, Saddique Shaban, has publicly accused
President William Ruto of illegally taking over the Lake Jipe public campsite
in Taita Taveta County.
In a post shared on his X account, Shaban claimed that the
scenic lakeside campsite, long enjoyed by local residents, tourists, and
conservationists, has been converted into private property linked to the
President.
“Unknown to many, the once popular KWS L. Jipe public
campsite is no longer PUBLIC. It is now under a "private developer".
While at it, another powerful "private developer" is CLAIMED that he
wants the place to himself,” he tweeted.
Shaban’s remarks came after a local traveler claimed they were ordered to leave the campsite by management, allegedly acting on instructions from a private developer.
