The declaration by Naivasha MP Jane Kihara that President William Ruto owns 5,000 acres of land in Ndabibi which was part of the Agricultural Development Corporation (ADC) property has added a new twist to the over two-decade old controversy.

Several farmers' groups and private developers have over the years been embroiled in a row with ADC over land ownership which they purport to have purchased from the State agency.
