Relief for deputy president William Ruto as his weston Hotel case withdrawn
A man who
had sued Deputy President William Ruto to compel him to divulge information of
how he acquired the land, on which Weston Hotel stands, has withdrawn the case.
Mr Martin
Murithi Njeru, a 31-year old Embu land broker said he was convinced by a former
Embu MP to withdraw the matter.
He wrote to
the deputy registrar, Environment and Land Court Milimani on July 22, seeking
the court to withdraw the petition numbered 613 of 2015.
“This is to
notify you of my intention to withdraw the matter herein. I request the same be
marked as withdrawn henceforth,” read the letter.
He, however,
did not divulge the reason for the sudden move.
The case was
slated for October 6 while the DP had been urged to respond.
“I was being
persuaded by former MP (Emilio Kathuri) who urged me to withdraw the case for
unity and good relations between Embu and the Executive. The opposition leaders
also kept quiet and didn’t say anything,” said Mr Njeru.

He said he
had not met the DP and acknowledged that he hadn’t named achieved his initial
intention of access to the information behind the acquisition of the hotel.
But speaking
to the Daily Nation, Mr Njeru said he was disappointed after
members of the opposition parties and civil societies that had earlier alleged
that there was foul play in the ownership of the land had not joined him.
