Your Excellency President @WilliamsRuto , everyone says Wicknell Chivayo is a Conman, a fraudster & a Criminal .. Why have you allowed him unimpeded access? Why is he given unrestricted access to our country? How can he openly give money to our airport employees? How does our country benefit from a known criminal? How can we compromise our national security & prestige to such man of dubious reputation?
Tatu City was not just a land dispute, it was a fight over how 10,000+ acres of old coffee land became one of Kenya’s biggest private city projects. It was one of the biggest boardroom wars Kenya has ever seen.
- Vimal Shah (Bidco Billionaire)
- Nahashon Nyagah (Former CBK Governor)
- Stephen Mwagiru (Coffee Farmer)
- Stephen Jennings (New Zealand Investor)
- A 50% stake.
- A $20M deposit allegedly paid… but later found in arbitration not to have been paid.
- And a Sh1.7B award that exposed how ugly the fight became.

The Trump admin has already slashed health funding for Kenya, but now expects Kenya to host American Ebola patients—rather than bring them home to care for them here.
Both governments should heed the concerns of Kenyan civil society.
Dear President Ruto— When #Trump asked Kenya to host an Ebola quarantine centre, you should have told him:
⚖️ Art. 1: Sovereignty belongs to the people — not to you to donate to a foreign power
⚖️ Art. 10: National values bind EVERY State organ
⚖️ Arts. 26, 43(1)(a): Every Kenyan has a right to life & the highest attainable standard of health
⚖️ Art. 35: Citizens have a right to information affecting them
Kenya is a constitutional democracy — NOT a monarchy. You are a trustee of the people’s sovereignty. Not its owner.
Ask Trump if he can exempt Kenyans from visa requirements in reciprocal gesture — and you will have the real answer. He can buy you with Sh1.7B but he will never mortgage the interests of his people.
Let Kenyans come before dollars and the U.S #IfikieRais

It remains one of the greatest private equity exits in East African history. But the road to that payout was a brutal, high-stakes war. Here is the story. 🧵 https://t.co/Z7IZvcfbjs
