Kenyans Online Threaten to Demolish Deputy President William Ruto's Weston Hotel
Kenyans online have expressed their willingness to take part in an exercise that will see Deputy President William Ruto's Weston Hotel demolished.
This comes after the National Lands Commission (NLC) established that the multi-million-shilling hotel in Nairobi sits on an illegally acquired parcel of land.
NLC said the parcel belongs to the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) and has recommended that Ruto pays the State agency for the land at the current market price.
In a recent interview with an international media, Ruto admitted the land where the hotel sits was illegally obtained.
He, however, said he's an innocent buyer since the persons who sold the land to him are the ones who acquired it illegally.
Kenyans on social media have questioned why Ruto's hotel is receiving special treatment while other buildings found to be standing on public, riparian and road reserve have been demolished.
Online users have asked human rights activist, Boniface Mwangi, to organize a protest whose aim will be to reclaim the public land where Weston hotel stands.
Kinini W Kinini says:"I will be on the front line,ready to offer my life we need an Arab spring here."
Evangelist Andrew notes:"This i support.....100 %.The same principle used to demolish other investors buildings should be used. And the land should be given back to kenya aviation.The Kenyan people have never agreed to sale that public land to Anyone."
Willy Babake Victor says:"We need to bring that shit down. I'll bring a crowbar to remove the doors."
Irene Kemunto writes:"tupatane apo lini? i will come with drinking water."
Kaba Miano says:"Then i am asking when can we demolish WESTON.... sisi wakenya.. Ourselves!?"
Ephat Mandela says:"Tuanze na weston kwanza alafu tuangalie hii ya Kenyatta family baadaye,step by step."
Schwazzer Mann notes:"Si umobilise wasee na unajua hiyo story, sio mara ya Kwanza umefanya maandamano...round this uni invite."
Gucci Richards declares:"Personally I will come for the demolition."
