Fatuma Gedi’s evidence linking Ruto to land grabbing grabbingdismissed by Speaker Muturi

The National Assembly Speaker Justin Muturi has ruled out the motion tabled by Wajir Women Representative Fatuma Gedi, alleging that Deputy President William Ruto is a land grabber.

Muturi dismissed the evidence tabled by Gedi saying she failed to substantiate the claims against the Deputy President.

Before the House went on recess last month, Gedi had tabled evidence before the National Assembly on allegations that Deputy President William Ruto is a land grabber.

The presentation of the evidence was cut short as Gedi was able to furnish the house with only three evidence documents against DP Ruto.

Muturi pointed out that the documents by the Wajir Women Representative were inadmissible by failing to meet the rules of admissibility.

He further said the documents which included newspaper printouts, photographs and court judgment were uncertified.

The Speaker cautioned legislators against making unsubstantiated claims in the House.

Among the purported evidence on land grabbing tabled include the parcel of land where Weston Hotel which is owned by Ruto sits, the piece of land in Turbo which was owned by Muteshi-a businessman who successfully reclaimed it through the courts.
