Ironically, on the day the national conference on fighting corruption ended at the Bomas of Kenya last week, it was reported that Weston Hotel would survive demolition.
This, notwithstanding that it occupies public land. According to a report by the highly discredited National Lands Commission (NLC), the Weston Hotel owner will be required to pay Sh350 million land cost for erecting the hotel on a 1.7 acres piece of land belonging to the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority. Pending review of the current market rates, the amount could go up, but that is baloney.
