I have learnt a lot about William Ruto since these cases came up. I confess that for the most part I had assumed that he was an ok pol. But when he featured among those who returned public land that they had stolen, and when the govt put brakes on the sale of another stolen parcel by the same politician, and when a poor farmer went to court over Ruto's takeover of his land during the PEV, it finally dawned on me. Ruto is an incurable land thief. And there's three more: (a) one where Eldoret Municipality has taken him to court for grabbing a huge plot (b) one whose Title has been revoked by the Lands Minister and repossessed (c) another deep in Mau Forest that he has since disowned claiming there's many William Rutos in Kenya yes na mambo bado.. what i can say after this court judgment, is that we are living in a dangerous country.. where corruption and impunity is the order of the day.. now we must work hard to push for the NEW CONSTITUTION TO BE IMPLEMENTED... Kenyans must now start demanding action.. seems there is worse sinister plans by the same individuals to cause mayhem in Kenya..

The judge scolded the prosecution for not calling its star witness: The magistrate also said the prosecution failed to call Hellen Njue, KPC's Finance Officer who allegedly released the money to the accused persons."The prosecution didn't call its star witness Hellen Njue - who purportedly released the money to the accused persons. Therefore the court finds that there is no evidence that Ms Njue released money to the accused," Mr Mutembei ruled.
Actions like these are not mistakes. They are shrewd exercises in perpetuating impunity. They know Kenyans are very stupid people who only need public shows - like the Bosire Goldenberg commission - to be lulled into silence with. During the trial of the policeman - Kirui - who killed a Kisumu youth while the TV cameras were running - the prosecution ensured that the evidence was not consistent: Constable Kirui escaped death over a disparity in prosecution evidence that appalled even the trial judge himself.
A mismatch by one digit in firearm serial numbers was all it required for the court to give Kirui the benefit of doubt and get him off the hook. The prosecution in such cases will always make a fatal "mistake" -- always, 100% guaranteed. It is now a cultural practice that Kenyan police and other prosecutors (AG's office) has mastered to perfection. You can reform the Judiciary a million times over, but as long as the Prosecuting body is compromised, what can the Judge do? Nothing! I have attended High Court as witness, and in the stand, I felt like a fool. "This case is going nowhere," a voice shouts in my head, "nowhere!!" Out of due respect (or is it just dumb acceptance), I just hold my peace and answer questions.

Flawed evidence lets officers accused of killings off the hookNdiwa told the court that he received from Wandaka a G3 rifle serial number 369369, FN rifle number 2332, six spent cartridges and 13 live bullets.
After examining them, he had concluded that the cartridges had been fired from G3 rifle 369369 and not any other gun. That was the number on the body of the gun itself.
Akeyo said he had been issued with G3 rifle serial number 359359 and not 369369. Firearms movement register from Laisamis DO’s office confirmed it.
Inspector Wandaka also confirmed that the G3 rifle issued to Akeyo was serial number 359359. It was the gun he had recovered from Hassan. He said number 369369 had been recorded in error, as it should have been 359359.
Justice Lenaola accepted the explanation as honest and reasonable. Akeyo was convicted and sentenced to death.
He appealed and the State conceded. Three Court of Appeal judges Samuel Bosire, Daniel Aganyanya and Joyce Aluoch ruled that Akeyo’s defence had raised reasonable doubt on the prosecution’s case and that should be to his benefit.
On November 7, 2008 the conviction was quashed and he was set free. Kenya's Judicial system can handle chicken thieves and goat rustlers. Probably aware of the mischief, Justice Isaac Lenaola tried to sidestep this fatal error, but a unanimous Court of Appeal reversed his decision. This precedent gives the police unlimited room to maneuver and manipulate cases to their liking. All that they need to do is write an "a" that looks like a "2", or vice versa, or say that 11-7-2010 is 7th Nov 2010 and not 11th July 2010, or vice versa. Kenyans will jump all over Kibaki and Raila about nominations to the Judiciary, but the devil will be in such small details. I hear Michael Joseph sacked the entire MPesa division of Safaricom last year when the service went down for a weekend. I think all Kenya government prosecutors must go home today.

HERE BELOW IS WHAT I SAID BACK IN FEBRUARY ON DETAILS OF THIS CASE
[/color] [/blockquote]
(e) RUTO WANTS THE GOVERNMENT TO BE THE ONE TO PAY KPC
Ruto’s defense argues that it is the government that made “errors” on land registration, therefore should be the one to “take responsibility” and pay KPC any losses. Even the constitutional bench found this argument laughable.
They opined that “if the allocating authority indeed gave out land without following the process laid out in the Forests Act, then the whole process is flawed nullity ab initio and an illegality”.
Therefore no rights or benefits or compensation can be accrued from an illegal process.
(f) JOSHUA KULEI’s PULLOUT
Joshua Kulei and his Sovereign Group of Companies, having benefitted from Kshs 58.7 million through the fraudulent sale to KPC, opted to voluntarily settle the matter outside court, in a plea bargain to be mediated by the Attorney General Amos Wako.
Kulei was to pay KPC back and participate in the trial of Ruto and others, as a prosecution witnesses, thereby confessing and giving evidence against his former co-conspirators William Ruto, Sammy Mwaita and others.
(g) RED FLAGS
Chief Magistrate Gilbert Mutembei declined the AG’s request FOR Joshua Kulei’s plea bargain above, basically saying the court will not be slowed down in its speedy zeal to dispose this case quickly, as was publicly requested by Ruto.
Chief Justice Mutembei essentially denied Kulei’s confessions and insider-testimony against Ruto.
(h) QUESTIONABLE WITNESSES
It is quite a comedy watching questionable witnesses retract their own statements, others blatantly pretending not to remember what transpired a few years back while they were in office. One witness made a dramatic U-turn on the question whether the land in question was part of the forest or not.
Another one, a valuer and obviously a very critical conspirator in the deal, was found to have updated his valuation report, seven months later, increasing the number of plots from 28 to 32. Impunity was very much present in court with the said witness, testifying about how valid this process was.
WHAT IS YOUR VERDICT?
Be the Judge in this Kangaroo Court, formed to sanitize and rebrand William Ruto, in readiness for the next political hatchet job on behalf of PNU and the lords of impunity![/size][/quote]

Corridors says that "A judicial officer has been demoted by the Judiciary Service Commission for delivering a ruling in a case involving a senior member of the G7 before hearing the evidence from all witnesses. The politician was acquitted of theft after the state failed to call a crucial witness whose evidence may have nailed the bigwig. For failing to record the witness's testimony, the magistrate was demoted and he no longer hears cases" Could this be the same magistrate I am thinking of? www.the-star.co.ke/national/corridors-of-power/54721-corridors-of-power

Mutembei is it?
But why shoud he be demoted when all he did was to work on evidence that was before him by the prosecution? He's the one who pointed out that a crucial witness was not called when he delivered the judgement is it not?
Does a magistrate direct which witnesses should be called by the parties?
In my opinion, it should have been be the prosecutors office i.e Tobiko who should have been demoted. Rememeber the issue came up during his vetting of which he did not satisfactorily handle but other forces had to have him in office.

Amid growing speculation on the matter, Kuria has told Corridors that he had legal problems of a civil and not criminal nature while he was based in Dubai. He says the “small” civil matter was withdrawn by the United Arab Emirates and is warning anyone who hopes to revisit the matter so as to knock him off his campaign for good governance that they would be wasting their time. Could someone please dispatch their investigative lens to Dubai pronto.

www.the-star.co.ke/national/corridors-of-power/54721-corridors-of-power If the JSC - headed by Chief Justice Willy Mutunga - did actually demote Chief Magistrate Gilbert Mutembei, they must be lauded for that positive step in cleaning-up the Judiciary. Every positive step counts. The CJ must help us end this culture of Judicial officers acting as "conveyor belts of acquitals".Another area the Chief Justice needs to throw his eyes and attention towards regards this practice of using courts to buy time and subvert Justice. I have in mind games such as this going on below (on the Gichuru-Okemo extradition case)....Our reformist CJ must end this practice of using courts to buy near-eternal escape from facing Judicial action. I think he can and will actually do it! www.nation.co.ke/News/politics/All+was+well+for+Okemo+and+Gichuru+until+the+Jersey+bombshell/-/1064/1294162/-/item/1/-/grf8npz/-/index.html

If one bothers to look, key words in the IDP land case mirror oft avoided truth about the root cause of PEV/IDP quagmire:
Settlement scheme
Political godfathers
White settler
Ethnic violence
IDP's
The only twist in this 'movie' is the talk of retribution but with no admission of fault. Not even Riverwood cant top that. .....and starring is yours truly-The man of as many lands deals as court cases.

Intelligent I must say. Ruto cooked himself up when he agreed to return the piece, in away admitting that he indeed got it through illegal means. I think the main issue was to establish that Ruto got it illegaly. Already ICC has interests in this particular case.
But now that the case is back in court for trial my worry is Muteshi's witnesses. Just as the KPC case a while back, some of his witnesses mightn't testify...

Now that the Ministry washed its hand off mweshimiwa's 'title' and the IDP is not willing to play ball, lawyers should be milking fees on this for quite a few months/years. But being Kenya the final outcome will likely be underwhelming.
Key learning point though, could you legally offer back or seek to keep What is not yours in the first place?
And more broadly, is the original title held by the departed settler good? if so why? and if not doesn't it make the IDP's title also not good?
Philosophical questions but worth exploring. Any Taita Taveta squatter may ditto that.

As things stand out. 1. William Ruto grabbed this land in 2008 as the fire and brimstone was engulfing the Rift Valley and people's parcels of land being grabbed. The owner, Mr. Muteshi says went he went to his land his workers had been thrown out. The land had been seized. The owner was told the land had been taken by William Ruto. Given those facts alone William Ruto should have been under investigation to establish whether or not he engineered the expulsion of Mr. Muteshi from his land. If he did that is a criminal offense. If people acting on his behalf did the expulsion Ruto could very well be a perpetrator of forceful evictions. 2. Here we have a Kenyan citizen, thrown out of his land which is now occupied by William Ruto with no valid ownership and yet the individual has to pusue the matter is a civil suit when the DPP, the Kenyan police and PA system just stand by and do nothing. If you grabbed somebody else's land is that not a criminal offense by itself. 3. Ruto says he bought the land from Ms Yator. Who exactly is Ms Yator? The lands ministry says the title deed Ruto is holding was not obtained legally. Shouldn't the ministry and state agents in the relevant sectors return the land to the rightful owner and let Ruto sue Ms Yator separately? Mr. Muteshi has no dealings with Ms Yator. His land is held by William Ruto who is hloding it illegally. Where is justice for this man? 4. The bone of contention now seems to be that Ruto does not want to admit gult of land grabbing even though given that this is a civil suit he faces no criminal conviction but it is possible Ruto fears and admission of land grabbing here puts him at risk. That may be so but since the DPP and the Kenyan police are not pursuing the matter, probably as part of the political favours Ruto is getting, how does Ruto expect the man to get his land back and not the title deed? He is not stupid. If Ruto keeps the title deed he can use it to access loans or do anything else with it. Ruto also does not want to compensate the owner for the legal costs and occupying the man's land for four years. So you grab a person's land. The state gives you a pass and instead of charging you with the criminal offense of seizing other people's property the land owner has to take you to a civil suit that takes four years. Now you just want to sneak the land back to the owner and let him sell part of his land to cover his costs and you do not even want to give him back his title. In which other country do you do this kind of criminal stuff and get away with it? Not even Haiti. 5. This land issue may be of importance to the ICC folks. Ruto is in a bind. He admits everything he is a sitting duck for a lot of legal problems. He plays dumb and goes for a fight he is even a worse sitting duck. Decisions, decisions. People may think Ruto's lawyer is crazy. He is not. There are a lot of legal consequences on whatever decision they make. Ruto giving up everything simply means he is a thief that got lucky in a messed up country. Ruto going for a fight means at least he has a chance that many of the witnesses could be dead. Don't ask me how. The nightmare for Ruto here is that the title deed he is holding was acquired illegally. And then we have the mythical Ms Yator. But really this case is a sad indictment of our justice system and how it has left the Muteshis of Kenya at the hands of land hounds and thieves. It is a shame on the nation.

But really this case is a sad indictment of our justice system and how it has left the Muteshis of Kenya at the hands of land hounds and thieves. It is a shame on the nation. Adongo You have made very valid points. This case is a classic case study in impunity, corruption, crony-ism, political violence, failed judicial systems and tribalism all rolled into one. It should be taught in universities as a representation of what-should-not -happen. Our judiciary is still undergoing reform so perhaps this explains why Ruto still behaves with impunity and why Muteshi is still struggling with an open and shut case. Is this another KPC in the making? Why are our systems so broken? But even Kenyans do not seem as outraged as would be the case in other societies. I am amazed at how when Ruto says 'Tuko Pamoja' at "prayer rallies', there are gullible Kenyans drinking to his health. How can that be when you are not 'pamoja' in grabbing and appropriating public (KPC) and private (Muteshi) land? But I am not surprised when Ruto and Uhuru declare 'tutatembea barabara moja'. The two have a thing for land and may share an ICC cell.

Here is the bone of contention:
"Although Mr Ruto has conceded the property, he has denied grabbing it.
He said a woman sold it to him knowing that the titles were irregular.
He said that his concessions were not admissions of wrongdoing or culpability, and disclaimed any liability, damages or losses that anyone may have suffered as a result of the land transaction."
Ruto's fears here are that by accepting liability he admits land grabbing and he does not know where that ends. Ruto actually should be charged with land grabbing but that is a discussion for another day. The nightmare for Ruto here is that by going to court he may very well open a pandora box.
Ruto knows about land issues. It is not possible that Ruto would pay anybody for 100 acres under the circumstances without knowing what he is doing. That is just nonsense. If this matter goes to hearing the mythical Ms Yator must be summoned to come to court. Nobody knows if she exists now or if she ever did, but surely since Ruto claims that is the person who sold him the land and that he did not grab himself, it is Ms Yator who will have to save Ruto. If she doesn't exist or cannot be traced, Ruto will have to hold the bag. It is a very dangerous gamble but these things happen when you entangle yourself in land grabbing business.

The case is a PR disaster for Ruto. If he did not steal the land, why does he want to return it? Shouldn't he be saying that he will not return it until the Mrs Yator is produced and jailed?
If he bought it, how much was it? where are the cheques, the searches etc. The truth is that in Eldoret even children know who owns what land. And particularly so if the land is 100 acres.
The judge in this case had better find away to cut through this bullshit and deliver a precedent setting verdict that will teach crooks a lesson.
People are saying that the boys were helping themselves to land vacated by fleeing victims. This prime piece was saved up for the boss.
There was a claim that the 'Mrs Yator' was dividing up the land and selling small portions to Kalenjins. So how did Ruto end up with one big parcel?

When you rattle a snake... Muteshi isn't a bumbling idiot as Ruto learnt during their attempt at out-of-court settlement. You can't just rob a money-making asset from someone, keep it for four years, then simply hand it back with no compensation. The ever cantankerous Ruto has now laid bare his not-so-subterranean plot - ridiculously and arrogantly demanding that Muteshi volunteer his very 'case details and evidence' to Ruto's corrupt friends at the CID...so that the very information is used against him in the very case. I guess Muteshi isn't going to be fooled or scared by Ruto's chest-thumping theatrics and archaic tricks. The irony is that the CID has for four years FAILED to investigate and prosecute Ruto for the CRIME of robbing Muteshi of his land. Muteshi made it very clear he has at no time sold his land. The phantom ghost called Yator - whom Ruto claims he bought the land from is nothing but Ruto's fictitious creation. What an audacious criminal! Demanding that Muteshi - victim of robbery - be the one to bear the burden of establishing or proving this and that is symptomatic of a spoilt brat too used to protection from State instruments of patronage.

am sure the question to pose to uhuru should be "do you really want this guy for your running mate or do you want to be running (away from this guy), mate" ;D TNK, the unholy alliance cannot hold. You can take that to Commercial Bank of Africa

Muteshi isn't a bumbling idiot as Ruto learnt during their attempt at out-of-court settlement. You can't just rob a money-making asset from someone, keep it for four years, then simply hand it back with no compensation. The ever cantankerous Ruto has now laid bare his not-so-subterranean plot - ridiculously and arrogantly demanding that Muteshi volunteer his very 'case details and evidence' to Ruto's corrupt friends at the CID...so that the very information is used against him in the very case. I guess Muteshi isn't going to be fooled or scared by Ruto's chest-thumping theatrics and archaic tricks.

Muteshi must've realized it would be an uphill task when he made inquiries near his farm & learned WSR "owned" it. Had things gone according to plan there wouldn't have been any claims to the farm as dead men tell no tales.
