Taita Taveta County residents have reportedly ganged up against Deputy President William Ruto, accusing him of causing starvation in the region, after lake water was diverted to his ranch.
The county, under Governor Granton Samboja, claimed that Ruto diverted piped water from Lake Jipe for his private use.
The farm is located in Mata Ward, 27 kilometres from Taveta Town, on Taveta-Jipe Road.
The county sought access into the ranch, through a motion in court, arguing that locals depend on the water for irrigation and domestic use.
The police are also seeking to arrest the farm’s manager Arie Dempers for reportedly denying a basic need to the area residents, forcing them to travel for miles in search of water.
Sources close to the DP informed the news outlet that the DP rears cattle and goats at the farm in which pasture for livestock has been planted. Ruto further plans to venture into crop farming.
After purchasing the farm, Ruto secured it with an electric fence to thwart squatters’ efforts to settle into the farm.
Taita Taveta county has a long history of tense relations between landlords who own vast ranches in the county and the locals who are mainly squatters.
