Senior Counsel Ahmednasir Abdullahi, alias Grand Mullah, has expressed disappointment on how the Deputy President William Ruto is wrongly targeted by cartels in the government.
Speaking on Wednesday night on Jeff Koinange Live show (JKL), the outspoken senior counsel said the deputy president was being unfairly targeted because he is a public figure.
Lawyer Ahmednasir Abdullahi stated that the Deputy President Dr.William Ruto should not pay for the Weston Hotel land since he bought it innocently.
“If you get the land as the first person, the land will always be taken against you. But if a third party buys from you, we call them innocent purchaser for value. So he gets a clean title notwithstanding the bad title of the first person; that is the law,” said the Senior Counsel.
This comes after Ruto, in an interview on BBC HARDtalk show hosted by Sackur acknowledged that the land upon which the hotel sits on was illegally acquired.
During the hard talk show, the country's second in command stated that he is committed to ensuring all illegalities are corrected as advised by the National Lands Commission (NLC).
Lawyer Ahmednasir further stated that Dp Ruto is not the first Kenyan to have bought the property that was taken by someone else, citing that everybody in this country has a title deed that leaves Kenyans with question marks.
"Land in Kenya is problematic, and there’s a lot of land that was acquired during the crazy years in the 1990s. So if we make this national consensus that let us return this land, there’s no problem. But let it be across the board,” said Ahmednasir.
