Deputy President William Ruto is battling to save Weston Hotel from possible demolition.
The 0.773ha plot L.R. No. 209/14372 is opposite Wilson Airport on Langata Road and was formerly the site of the KCAA central stores.
In June 2015 Ruto admitted that he had interests in the hotel on Citizen TV’s The Big Question programme.
The Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) had written to the National Land Commission (NLC), alleging that Weston stands on its land, which was irregularly acquired.
Already, a draft report has been prepared recommending that title for Weston Hotel, associated with Deputy President William Ruto, be revoked.
The National Land Commission (NLC) meets today to make a crucial determination that will seal the fate of Weston Hotel land.
The commission will either adopt the report or amend it before notifying parties to the matter, which include the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) and Weston.
Abdullahi told the NLC panel that Ruto acquired the land in 2007 for Sh10 million from its registered owners, Priority Management Ltd and Monene Investments Limited.
The two companies had been allocated the parcel of land measuring 0.7 hectares (1.7 acres) on January 5, 1998 for a period of 99 years to develop residential flats and apartments after paying a stand premium of Sh320,000.
The companies got the certificate of lease for the land in 2002 before transferring it to Weston Hotel on June 13, 2007. 
Weston then applied for change of user, which was approved.
The hotel, according to a valuation report by Zenith (Management) Valuers Ltd, was valued at Sh300 million in May this year and had been charged to a bank for Sh1.2 billion.
If the report is adopted in its draft form, and members append their signatures, then Ruto will lose the land and will only be left with an option of turning to the High Court for appeal.
Should the NLC rule in favour of Weston, the KCAA will also have an option of challenging the decision in court.
“The fact is that the land belongs to KCAA. That is what we established. But let’s wait for the commission meeting on Thursday,” a senior official of NLC told The Standard on Tuesday evening.
Commission vice chair Abigail Mbagaya will chair the meeting, given that Muhammad Swazuri, the chairman, is barred by a court order from participating in the commission’s meetings due the corruption case he is facing.
Yesterday, Ms Mbagaya declined to comment on the verdict, saying we should be patient. “When a decision is made, we shall make it public. Be patient,” she said.
The NLC boss, however, insisted that the issue of Weston Hotel land was among many matters that had to be determined before the term of the current NLC could expire in February next year.
There has also been fear that any decision arrived at by the NLC in the absence of the chairman might have its legality challenged, though Mbagaya stated otherwise.
“Read the law. In the absence of the chairman, who conducts meetings of the commission? Is it not the vice chairperson?” she posed.
The number of members NLC requires to attain a quorum is at least five, being the simple majority, to make any binding decision.
