Adrian Muteshi, the Man Who Sued DP William Ruto for Illegally Taking over His 100-Acre Farm, Dies
A farmer who sued Deputy President William Ruto for illegally occupying his 100-acre parcel of land in Eldoret, Uasin Gishu has died.
Adrian Muteshi passed away in Nairobi on Tuesday aged 86, according to an obituary published in a local newspaper. The obituary did not state the cause of his death.
"It is with a deep sense of gratitude to say farewell to our beloved Adrian ...who passed away in Nairobi...funeral programmes will be announced shortly," the obituary read.
The deceased was displaced from Eldoret during the 2007/2008 post-election skirmishes and his land illegally seized.
He sued DP Ruto for unlawfully taking over the parcel of land and in 2013, the High Court ruled the land belonged to Muteshi.
As a result, Ruto was ordered to return the land and pay Sh5 million to Muteshi for illegally occupying his property.
Ruto appealed the court order to pay Sh5 million to the complainant arguing that that “his entry, possession, and ownership of the parcel was licensed by the Commissioner of Lands and the Lands Registrar.”
In 2017, DP Ruto withdrew his appeal against the High Court judgment.
Ruto through his lawyers told the court that he was an unsuspecting buyer and had conducted due diligence before purchasing it from people he believed were the owners of the property.
Muteshi leaves behind a wife, Maria Wikunza Muteshi, and six children.

DP Ruto, the land grabber, ought to be very ashamed to what has befallen Mr Muteshi!
Ruto put the late Muteshi under so much stress and here now we see the result of Ruto’s silly ways of corruption! Muteshi have now joined a long list of those Kenyans Ruto has murdered!
Ruto is the sole cause of this innocent old man’s death! Kenyans should take note of this as Ruto continues to give some damn free useless wheelbarrows to impoverish Kenyans even more! I surely hate Ruto for his corruption character!
Could be Arap Mashamba Never forgave Mutesh for Reclaiming his Grabbed land.
The question should be, did the honorable Muteshi forgive DP Ruto who caused him to die because of stress?
Does Ruto have any shame left in his bosom? Muteshi died of the stress DP Ruto caused to his heart and his general health! RIP Mr Muteshi
Shame my foot!! It’s your Muteshi who colluded to sell his land then came to claim it back after swindling Ruto.
You are the same idiot as always writing these garbage. Or you think using different names and especially kalenjin names makes any of your garbage any sensible?
@asista - or whatever the hell your name is, I would never ever wish to be associated with a kalenjin or your names! You all suffer from ghost imaginations of things which do not exist.
But I take it there there are kalenjin who are feed up with Ruto’s corruption and murderous behavior and now they are seeking to tell the truth about your Demi god!
All of you are partners in crime and non of you ever matures up to hold your crime partners accountable! No wonder the rest of the country have deserted your mad DP Ruto!
Your uncle owns the size of a province of ill gotten land. And you are all over the place with your stingy soiled underwear talking about someone who was conned of his money?
You are a psycho case. For you to be idly sitting and spewing crap with different pseudo names tells a lot. No kalenjin behaves like you dummy. Not even most of your tribesmen do. You need to be truly circumcised and prayed for!!
Thank you for congratulating me for living a life of luxury which my family worked hard for and earned successful businesses that you and your kales have benefited from although you have stolen a lot from us.
Did you not kill my uncle in Nakuru in 1992? Burned my dad’s rental businesses in Eldoret in 2007/8? And you think I would have a heart for Ruto and the lunatic kalenjin community?
Surely your circumcised thieving DP is not doing any better without stealing small plots of land from the poor elderly men in your own community. Then he uses goons like you to make sure Muteshi never returned to his farm to enjoy it!
You talk about a circumcised thief? Maybe you need to circumcise him again and indoctrinate him in your community after he gets cleansed! You just had your guy kill Kenei and many others?
Let’s talk about praying? What kind of God do you folks pray while you are thieves and murderers? Everyone of you; nearly the whole community cherishes on killing innocent people??
You are even killing your own elders with stress @sister to Ruto! Muteshi’s death will haunt Ruto to his grave! Do you deny that? You folks are the scams of the earth and the good Lord amemurania na Shetani amemuteka nyala!
No you are wrong @sister to Ruto because my uncle owns a little over 3 provinces! Meza mate! It is me who owns close to 1 province! Wewe ni mtu wa fake wheelbarrows!!
Give us a break you shitty fool! You can defend your corrupt kalenjin brother all you want that he got conned but the court determined Ruto’s land grabbing case purely based on facts!
Are all of you Kalenjins damn thieves that you want to be oblivious of clear facts here!!? Muteshi died because of what Ruto did to him! Stop spinning facts to cover up for your corrupt friend!
We will see which other corrupt kalenjin you will be defending for stealing once we send Ruto home in 2022. Will it be Murkomen or Sudi? Go do your cattle wrestling in mogotio and leave other honest Kenyans out of your inborn corrupt nature.
A sister! You must have been made in Hell and came running Marathon to Earth. I am serious!😇
@asista - big sister - he-she is a devil incarnate from she-he Lucifer and Satan DP Ruto! Born in hell, came running to hell and went back to hell earth! Die imaginations perfecto!
Quite good snipe @guest1! As a matter of facts; very good indeed!!!
How does a whole DP Ruto reduce himself to these kind of shameful acts! How?
Ruto’s last name should be changed from whatever to a “murderer!”
RIP papa!
What does Ruto have to say about this????? Ruto is just a little boy in grown man’s weird purple trousers! RIP!
The cause of Mzee muteshi’s death could be the deep stress Ruto put on him as he stole this old man’s shamba!
Muteshi is a very courageous man who fought hard the demons of sitting deputy president and won the case hands strong! No Kenyan ever deserves to go through this kind of pain and anguish!
And to all those who deny that Ruto was not marred in the 2007 skirmishes in the Rift Valley, Muteshi is a clear classic case example of 110% Ruto involvement!
And for whatever happens now, we just ask God to revenge for muteshi’s death - deny Ruto any peace of mind as the spirits of this man keep haunting William Ruto to his last breath!
Ruto is nothing less than a crook and he does not deserve to be the DP of the Republic of Kenya!
And we all know and accept that at some point in life death can come pronounced.
What we refuse to accept is a death of Mr. Muteshi who endured a lot of stress and health issues from a DP of Kenya, and a fellow kalenjin! Ruto’s dirty hands are the hallmark of this man’s death!
Kenyans must understand that the late Muteshi was not old enough to die! This is all the reason I have starkly differed with Ruto. And all Kenyans should understand that Ruto is a bad man! You decide!!
RIP our dear father; Mr. Muteshi!!
It will not be surprising to see Ruto, the village wag, trotting to pay the fony last respect to this Mzee! He will go there to survey the second take of the late Muteshi’s land! He will make this burial all politics to confuse the masses! Wake up folks and see the day light!
The late Muteshi is more respected nation wide than DP DP Ruto.
He presented true facts in the court of law and won back his stolen land where now he will be laid to rest!
He died an honorable, trusted and respected man while the man he (DP Ruto) stole his land at one point in the past (2007 - 2017) is the most untrusted, unrespected and dishonorable man in the whole country! You do the math!
Wafula Chebukati: Tafadhali soma tena taarifa hii ya Marehemu Adrian Muteshi. Usimruhusu tena Makamu wa Rais, Ndugu Kipchirchir Samoei Arap Ruto kugombea kiti chochote cha uongozi nchini. Hafai. Amevunja yaliyoandikwa katika Sura ya Sita ya Katiba yetu mpya ya Kenya.
True! Ruto must be barred from contesting any political office in Kenya! Even the seat of the MCA!
Well I think Ruto and Chebukati should be fired and sent to prisoner!!
RIP Mzee Muteshi. The crooks who grabbed and advertised your land for sale must also have a day in court. DP was a victim of buying a grabbed land from what I just read here. DP explained in JK live how he ended up buying a grabbed piece of land,just like many other Kenyans. No one said anything to refute his innocence. When people who in the Govt engaged in illegal practices,this ends up happening.Am glad DP returned your land and lost his money in the process. DP need to go after the crooks who sold him your land. Those crooks must be prosecuted in the court of law.Buying land in Kenya is a risky business. As risky as crossing a crockdile invested river.
Excuse me @hakiyetu! The court have already determined the case in favor of the facts presented by Muteshi!
Ruto was the real thief but he created a fitting narrative that he was conned! As a matter of facts, Ruto was the conman in the land case! Just like he is marred into all other sorts of ugly things!
But, when thieves have greedy associates like @hakiyetu to defend them, it makes it very difficulty to make Kenya a better country. You are just a Musaliti to your own country when you work so hard to defend a stealing DP!
You can now go get a free useless trashy wheelbarrow from your bestie Ruto now you have ashamed yourself defending a thief!
Mazee @lantzi, just tell @hakiyetu ajinyonge! Wewe gala mob! Ujinga Ati Ruto si mwinzi hatutaki. Kabufu Kijana ni @hakiyetu. Mbizi yeye - Toto ya Shetani!!
@Lantiz, since you knows it all about corruption and I have zero tolerance to corruption, can you share evidence that Ruto stole that land. Do research and share your finding here.
I prefer not to waste my time with an imbecile! Sorry dude - stay exactly where you are right now. Go get a free wheelbarrow from your thieving fren! You can even spell my name! Kubafu wewe!
@Lantiz, comments just like siasa hazitakangi makasiriko. Just go home and do the homework I give you. Argue with facts lazy guy.
KENYATTA's family stole thousands of acres. Most of JOMO's closest friends and allies stole thousands too.
MOI came in and did the same, but I haven't heard or seen anyone being taken to court over this.
Why are we so bitter about RUTO?
100 acres vs thousands?
TUWACHE UJINGA.
We need to be really mad and start demanding our land back.
How can you be a squatter in your own country?
MAU MAU freedom fighters who did agree with KENYATTA are living pathetic lives after KENYATTA's regime killed most of them.
May DP Ruto RIP in form of Mr Muteshi’s ghost spirits! Ruto created a heavy depression to Muteshi, a very hard working Kenyan who fought everything Ruto stood for! Muteshi fought Ruto and won but never to enjoy his land because Ruto kept harassing him with hired goons!
Ruto killed the man who was either a hustler or a dynasty! Muteshi was a man of many visions but Ruto dimmed those visions!
And even after Mr Muteshi won the grabbing of his land’s case against Ruto, he never return to his land to enjoy the fruits of his many years of labor!
And Kenyans keep wondering why Uhuru have fought Ruto with passion! Ruto is a renowned crook!
RIP DP Ruto!
Mr Muteshi spoke truth to power (illegitimate power called DP Ruto)! But Muteshi paid the ultimate price like Juma, Yebei, Mwikali, Kenei, etc! Did it have to be this way? No!
My blame rests on the entire kalenjin community for protecting a thieving son called DP Ruto, but sacrificed at the alter a very honest man called Muteshi!
I hope this Ruto nonsense will be remembered in 2022 when Ruto is running for presidency! RIP!
Now the country have clearly seen what DP Ruto is capable of doing - he harassed the innocent hard working man to death!
Ruto used goons to harass Muteshi to a point he could not return to his land.
A rude shock to those blind wheelbarrow followers of DP Ruto, who thinks their man could do no wrong!
RIP Mr Muteshi!
