Deputy President William Ruto Asks Gov’t to Distribute "His" 15,000-Acre Ranch to Locals

Deputy President William Ruto has told the government to give out a 15,000-acre land alleged to be his.

Ruto said the ADC Mutara Ranch, which was listed among the properties he owns, should be allocated to Laikipia residents.

“Now that they said I own 15,000 hectares of land, I am giving them the authority to distribute it to the people of Laikipia,” Ruto sarcastically said during a meeting with grassroots leaders from Narok at his Karen residence.

Appearing before a National Assembly committee this month, Interior Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i listed 10 properties owned by Ruto, saying they were being manned by 51 police officers.

They included Kitengela Gas, 395-hectare Murumbi Farm in Transmara, 6,073- hectare ADC Laikipia Mutara Ranch, Dolphine Hotel in Mombasa, 2,537-acre Mata Farm in Taita Taveta, Koitalel Poultry Farm, and Kwae Island Development Ltd in Wilson Airport comprising two hangers and five helicopters.

Matiang’i had been summoned by the committee to shed light on the recent changes to the deputy president’s security detail.

Ruto acknowledged that 70 percent of the aforementioned properties belong to him but denied owning ADC Mutara Ranch.

“But there are a few properties they listed that I do not own, like the 10,000 or so acres in Laikipia, that is not mine,” said Ruto.

He also indicated that Matiang’i left out other properties he owns, including 400,000 and 80,000 shares in Safaricom and Kenya Airways respectively.

Ndugu Samoei Arap Ruto:

Nakuomba utoe mashamba yote uliyo nayo halafu ubaki tu na hekta moja ambayo mamilioni ya WaKenya wengi hawana.
Hapo zamani za kale, nilipokuwa mfuasi wa imani ya Wayahudi, nilisoma mahali kwenye kitabu cha imani ya Wayahudi (bibilia) ambapo mtu mmoja alitaka kuwa mfuasi wa Mwana wa Mariamu. Mwana wa Mariamu (hatujui jina lake la asili lilikuwa nani) akamjibu: “ Ukitaka kunifuata, yatoe mali yote uliyo nayo kwa maskini halafu njoo unifuate.” Yule mtu alikuwa tajiti sana. Hakufuata maagizo aliyoambiwa kwa sababu alikuwa na mali nyingi sana (kama Mwana wa Ruto).
Mimi ningependa kuona Mwana wa Ruto akitoa mali aliyo nayo yote sasa kwa maskini waliojaa katika nchi ya Kenya kabla hajaendelea kugombea kuwa rais nchini 2022.

The one man who’s been trotting the world cities borrowing money is the one that has tanked the economy. Meanwhile Ruto has been steadfastly building it. Matiangi gave you the insights.

Ruto if you are listening please tell them residents of Laikipia to orderly go on their own and subdivide this land they say it’s yours.
We need the president to do the same . Donate not all that size of Nyanja but just half of it. Give priority to the Mau Mau families whose farms were taken away while they were in the woods.
And reclaim the white settlers whose lease is over and revert it back to its original settlers. Or rather the landless. No white settler should be allowed to sell any of the portions of these lands. They belong to Kenyans.
