[Collins Oduor, Standard]Mombasa Governor Hassan Joho wants Deputy President William Ruto to forfeit 2,500 acres in Taita Taveta County that he got as a gift. Joho said Ruto should surrender the land to squatters because he got it while serving as a public officer. In line with government regulations, Ruto is a public officer and should surrender such a gift to the State for distribution to Taita Taveta residents. Addressing a rally in Mtwapa, Kilifi County, Joho said he would repossess all irregularly allocated land if he becomes the Lands Cabinet secretary. He played the audio recordings in Malindi and Ganze in Kilifi County during rallies to drum up support for Azimio flagbearer Raila Odinga and Kilifi governor aspirant Gideon Mung’aro.
