Wednesday, February 26, 2025 - A document from the Kenya Airports Authority (KAA) detailing plans for an airstrip in Kilgoris has stirred debate among Kenyans, with many questioning its true purpose.
Speculation is rife that President William Ruto may be using
public funds to construct the airstrip near his multi-million shilling mansion
in Kilgoris.
The opulent home, built on a 900-acre farm, has long been
controversial, with claims that Ruto acquired the land under unclear
circumstances.
Court documents indicate that the property was originally
allocated to former Vice President Joseph Murumbi in 1977 by the Narok County
Council and handed over by then - Lands Minister Joshua Angaine.
In recent months, Ruto's Kilgoris residence has become a hub
for high-profile meetings, including a visit from former Ghanaian President
John Mahama.
Critics now argue that the proposed airstrip is primarily
for the president’s convenience, using taxpayers’ money to enhance access to
his private property.
The allegations have ignited fresh debate on Government
priorities.
