President Uhuru Buys 1,000-Acre Ranch Near Maasai Mara Game Reserve

President Uhuru Buys 1,000-Acre Ranch Near Maasai Mara Game Reserve

It has emerged that President Kenyatta recently acquired a 1,000-acre ranch adjacent Maasai Mara Game Reserve, the world-famous tourist destination.

Nation reported that the president ushered in the New Year at his new home from where he delivered the annual end of year speech on Thursday.

This was a break with tradition of presidents spending the New Year at State House, Mombasa.

It was reported that the expansive farm located in Oloolmongi, Lolgorian district in Transmara, Narok County will serve as Uhuru’s retirement home once he leaves office in 2022.

He reportedly purchased the ranch from the Olerien and Kengani group in 2020 together with another parcel where he plans to set up a tourist lodge.

Through Twitter, Narok Senator Ledama Ole Kina thanked Uhuru for choosing to spend his holiday in the county.

“Welcome to Narok county Mr. President and thank you for choosing Narok county as a place to celebrate the new year and also to retire! Sasa badilisha hiyo kura yako iwe ya Narok. Thank you for adding another district to Narok county-Lolgorian District,” Ledama wrote.

Uhuru has blood ties to the region as his great grandfather, Magana married a Maasai woman named Susana Musana, who gave birth to Uhuru’s grandfather Muigai—the father of Kenya’s first president Jomo Kenyatta (Kamau wa Ngengi).

At least Uhuru is not standing in the street corners mugging poor women and children like you do @menye! I have been told you have turned Naivasha into the devil’s workshop trapping motorists along every road available there! We will deal with you in 2021!!!

You know figures like 1000 arces mean nothing when someone owns a 40x80 ... can someone explain to me how many stadiums can fit in a 1000 arce farm ... this might help 99% of kenyans understand

RAIS UHURU NGINA KENYATTA:

Nakusihi na pia nakuomba Ndugu Rais Uhuru Ngina Kenyatta uwape waliopigania uhuru na kupoteza mashamba yao walipokuwa kifungoni na wengine msituni shamba ulilonunua la ekari 1,000. Watakukumbuka wewe, pamoja na familia yako milele na milele.

Susana Musana was abducted from her home by Kikuyu raiders, who forced her into marriage. Magana never paid bride price for her.

Very true at @settled. Some are trying to re-write history and facts are just facts although at the end of the day Susana remains Uhuru's blood relative.
That said, I find it interesting that this inciter and hater of Agīkūyū Ole Kina is the first to welcome Uhuru to his kingdom. Doesn't he know he is a Mūgīkūyū or he is on a kiss ass expedition.

At least Uhuru bought his 1000 acres, unlike DP Ruto who goes around stealing small plots from the poorest in society!

Greed at it's best.
But the fun part is all of us are entitled to a 3 by 6 hole.
This shows how much UHURU and his GOONS has stolen.
REVOLUTION is coming.
REVOLUTION is key out if these vices.

@kanini - it is good to know that you have so far self defeated yourself to a point that you are so ready to enter your 3x6 right now!

You had the opportunity to do better for yourself before you gave up on yourself. So stay put and wait for that special moment when you will enter the 3x6 to sleep for ever! No body will miss you!

Please don’t tell the obvious - that every body will die one day! We all know that fact already! But the issue is very simple - what did you do and accomplish with your time here on the earth? Answer that question to your damn self and then get busy doing something positive!

I can assure you that you don’t have what it takes to wage a revolution! As lazy as you are, you don’t even stand a chance to win a revolution! Who are fighting with in a free country - your mother???

So let Uhuru be instead of talking like a tad boy whose absent father never taught you some good manners and the value of hard work!

No wonder your wife and kids sleep hungry every damn night! Get your sick mind out of the gut and do something! Shame on you pal!!!

Your mental state shows that you are well tuned for small things based on your signature miniature names of “kora kanini”, simply meaning “a very little frog”! A small frog can’t accomplish anything!

Why not change your name to “big leaping frog”, “master toad”, “big foot”, “the elephant man”, etc! Having a huge name can improve your attitude and the way you see things!

Settled Nomad, you are still revisiting dowries of 1890s.The Statue of limitations has since passed. Besides, you are now American and you should not worry so much about "primitive" traditions, like the dowry thing.

What about all the land president Jomo kenyatta snatched and all the land mama Ngina Kenyatta owns, isn't all that his too? As Tolstoy asks, how much land does a man need? A lot of mau mau freedom fighters couldn't even afford a grave plot inspite of their sacrifice for us all. Just a thought.

Recently the daughter of dedan Kimathi was arrested in Isiolo where she was looking for land to settle those who shed their blood so that we can be free. she was released after sleeping in the cell for no reason while those who got it on a platter continue to exploit us . but there is a price for everything

1000 plus acres is too much for one person.He will be too old to even farm that land soon.And who knows if he even paid a fair price.He was showing off yet regular folk are landless, jobless and hopeless.It has got nothing to do with working hard the old adage of who you know in Kenya still holds.How does one family own almost 1/4 of the total arable land in Kenya most of which was acquired through theft.

KK (not verified)     Sun, 01/03/2021 @ 10:42am

Suuure he bought the land. Show us the check he wrote and who it was payable to. This family already owns just about half of the fertile land in Kenya. Since does a sitting president conduct personal business while in office. Greed greed greed.
