Kalonzo drags Mwai Kibaki in new legal battle

Tough times

Wiper Leader Kalonzo Musyoka has dragged in the name of former President Mwai Kibaki in a new case revolving the ownership of a 200-acre farm in Machakos.

Musyoka was recently issued with a fourteen-day notice to surrender a prime piece of land where he built his retirement home to the National Youth Service (NYS).

NYS has laid claim to the land but Musyoka has responded by stating that the land did not at any one time belong to the service and that he had properly purchased it before building a palatial retirement home.

The NASA co-principal has stated he is ready to move to court, insisting that the land was allocated to Ketraco by President Kibaki.

“The parcel belonged to the former Machakos municipality and was crown land. It was later allocated by former President Mwai Kibaki on the same presidential decree as that of the NYS,” Kalonzo stated in a statement on Saturday.

Musyoka adds that he later purchased the land from Ketraco.

The NYS made efforts to recover the expansive farm after an order from President Uhuru Kenyatta that all the service's property should be reclaimed and put into proper use.
