The Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) has launched a new bid to repossess its land, where Nairobi's Weston Hotel stands on.
In February this year, the National Lands Commission (NLC) ruled that KCAA was the rightful owner of the piece of land on which the four-star hotel owned by Deputy President William Ruto sits.
The NLC directed Ruto to pay the aviation authority for the parcel at current market value instead of demolishing the hotel.
Through lawyer James Orengo and Otiende Amollo, KCAA has filed an application in court seeking to repossess the Weston Hotel land.
In documents filed at the Lands and Environment Court, the agency argues that NLC lacks the powers to rule on the fate of the land.
KCAA also points out that it did not apply for compensation, terming NLC's ruling as ambiguous and absurd.
"The first respondent’s (NLC) determination further is irrational and irregular as no party pleaded for compensation. The final order also fails to account for the fixtures on the land, making the order ambiguous and absurd and incapable of implementation,” read the papers, according to The Standard.
It also says that the hotel was built without proper development approvals and that the determination by NLC favors those who acquired the land illegally.
The case will commence on July 4th.

Grabbing by corrupt Ruto. The land must be taken back by rightful owners.
@Kenya & @Sukuma:
Ajabu ni kuwa Ndugu Ruto na ufisadi wake wote anataka kuwa rais wa nchi ya Kenya!
Kumpigia kura Ruto, ni sawa na kuzika nchi yote ya Kenya kwenye kaburi.
Ruto atakapomaliza 2022, aende kufundisha chuo kikuu mara moja. Asipofanya hivyo, shahada yake itaingia kutu (rust) kwa sababu atakuwa amesahau yapata asilimia 99% ya mambo ambayo alijifunza chuoni.
Don’t believe what thug Sonko is saying. He cooked the story to make him look a victim of the press. He should stop thinking the rest of Kenyans are fools as Nairobi people
Didn't he take out a loan with the hotel as collateral from a local bank. This is a snake!
Watu watatu waliofanya pesa za Kenya kupoteza heshima duniani ni:
1. Ndugu Dr. Toroitich Kipkorios Arap Moi
2. Ndugu Dr. Cyrus Jirongo
3. Ndugu Dr. William Samoei Chirchir Arap Ruto
Unakumbuka wakati wa YK92? Waliohusika na vitendo vya ajabu vilivyofanya pesa za Kenya kupoteza heshima ni ndugu hawa watatu niliowataja majina yao.
Dr. Kenya imepoteza maana yake kabisa katika nchi ya Kenya kwa sababu ya ufisadi uliopo kila mahali. Kwa hiyo, kila mtu Kenya ni "Dr. ..."
Ndugu @Imara unaniuthi, tena mno unaposema "Dr". Je, huyu mfisadi alisomea wapi udakitari?
Ndugu yangu @Njai:
Naomba usikasirike kwa sababu jana ulisoma ya kwamba wanafunzi wengi walipewa shahada ya uzamivu (Ph.D.) na huku Kenya haiwezi hata kujijengea reli yapata miaka 56 tangu tupate uhuru. Shahada hizi zinasaidia nchi kwa njia gani?
Inaonekana shahada hizi ni za bandia (fake doctorates) kwa sababu hazisaidii nchi kwa njia yoyote. Ndiyo sababu naona kila mtu apewe cheo hiki cha bandia cha Dr.
Ningependa kukuuliza swali moja, makamu wa rais alipata wapi nafasi ya kuhudhuria masomo yake na huku ameajiriwa na nchi 24/7 amsaidie rais kufanya kazi ya uongozi?
Ruto is just buying time. This ugly hotel will be demolished one day. It might not be in UhuRuto administration but the future government will blow it up. Mali ya umma.
