In a BBC interview last week, Ruto admitted that the Hotel land may have been acquired illegally by those who sold him but denied that he flouted legal processes.

But Mr Bosire, a close confidant of Mr Odinga, accused Ruto of stealing public property, adding that he should formally quit his position.

“Ruto should eat the humble pie and just quit. He lacks the moral authority to continue being deputy president after admitting that he illegally acquired the Weston Hotel land,” the former Kitutu Masaba MP said.

"What Ruto has confirmed is that he is a thief of public resources by admitting that the Weston Hotel was built on public land that was stolen,” said the politician.

Bosire, a fierce critic of Dr Ruto, had in the past accused the DP of allegedly launching ghost projects across Gusii, putting him at loggerheads with the country's second in command.

In January, Bosire cited a number of projects in Nyamira which he blamed the DP for using them for political mileage on 2022 campaigns.

The Weston Hotel land, it has been established, was initially owned by KCAA, an agency that controls airports.
