Kenyan President Accused of Land Grabbing: Thousands of Acres in Question

Allegations of Land Grabbing by Kenyan President William Ruto Spark Outrage Kenya is facing renewed scrutiny over land ownership following allegations that President William Ruto has illegally acquired vast tracts of land intended for internally displaced persons (IDPs). A recent video by Truth Media™ has amplified these claims, prompting public outrage and calls for transparency. The video features a speaker who alleges that Ruto has seized thousands of acres of land in the Narok region, specifically mentioning an area called DaVinci. The speaker states, "Ruto has a serious appetite for public land!" The accusations include claims that Ruto has taken land by force, leaving IDPs without land meant for their resettlement. These allegations are particularly concerning given the historical injustices surrounding land ownership in Kenya. The video's claims are yet to be independently verified, and the presidency has not yet issued a formal response. However, the gravity of the allegations necessitates a thorough investigation by independent bodies to ensure accountability and transparency in land governance. The incident highlights the ongoing struggle for land rights and justice in Kenya, a persistent issue with deep historical roots.
