Some of the affected individuals are said to be over 90 years old, having inherited the land from their parents who worked for the farm&#8217;s previous owner.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese elderly Kenyans have lived through the governments of Jomo Kenyatta, Daniel Moi, Mwai Kibaki, and Uhuru Kenyatta without any issue. It is only after William Ruto became President that they were violently removed from their homes,\u201d Dr. Kinity said.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Kinity further claimed that the eviction exercise was accompanied by police brutality. He alleged that the elderly residents were harassed, beaten, and arrested during the operation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese people, many of whom are older than the President\u2019s own grandfather, were subjected to unnecessary violence and cruelty,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n<p>Drawing comparisons to a past case, Dr. Kinity referenced a 2008 incident where a Kenyan named Adrian Mutesi allegedly lost 100 acres of land to William Ruto. The matter was resolved in 2013 when the court ruled in Mutesi&#8217;s favor.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHistory seems to be repeating itself. Just like Adrian Mutesi fought and won back his land, I believe the rightful owners of Ndabibi farm will also get justice,\u201d Dr. Kinity remarked.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_6287\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-6287\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-6287\" src=\"https:\/\/horizonnews.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG-20250302-WA0013-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/horizonnews.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG-20250302-WA0013-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/horizonnews.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG-20250302-WA0013-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/horizonnews.co.ke\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/03\/IMG-20250302-WA0013.jpg 400w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-6287\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jane Kihara<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>The evictions have left the affected families in distress, especially as the exercise took place during the planting season.
