Weston Hotel, which Deputy President William Ruto has in the past admitted to having interests in, put in approvals for controversial extension of the former Dolphin Hotel in Mombasa.

The resort has reportedly encroached on a public beach. A search by Saturday Standard on the approvals given by the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) for the extension of the hotel whose ownership changed in 2015, shows that it was applied for by Weston Hotels Ltd.
