Dr Ruto has remained silent over the property, opting to let his allies take the flak. “I'm confident that after we're done with Ruai land and the saga around it, the momentum will be maintained as we interrogate how a few families got to own more than half of Kenya,” Kiharu MP Ndindi Nyoro posted on his Facebook page. For those who had bought property on land adjacent to the disputed parcel, however, the surprise decision by the government has come at a huge cost. 12979/2 — measuring approximately 3,614.2 hectares — which has partly been occupied by squatters is the one being repossessed now. On a tour of the land, we saw lorries, donkeys and pick-ups ferrying household property as people rushed to demolish their houses.
