Divided commissioners of a lands agency were yesterday unable to reach a verdict on the disputed ownership of land on which a hotel associated with Deputy President William Ruto sits.
A resolution on the land where Weston Hotel is located aborted and the National Lands Commission (NLC) instead postponed the crucial decision to February next year, when the agency's eight commissioners are scheduled to leave office.
The commission met for almost five hours yesterday to discuss the Weston Hotel land, another said to have been leased out to Delmonte in Kiambu County and other administrative issues.
The Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) claims ownership of the land on which Weston Hotel sits but yesterday, commissioners disagreed on the way forward.
