Former Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua has alleged that the government has sold the historic Bomas of Kenya to a Turkish national.
Speaking on Sunday, March 9 in Kajiado County, Gachagua said the government has already approved the sale of Bomas.
The former DP noted that he was the only one who opposed the selling of the heritage site to a private individual.
“I was the only one who stood up and said that Bomas of Kenya is a national heritage and we cannot sell it. It has been sold to a Turkish national who is a business partner of a very senior person in this government, you all know him. That Bomas is gone,” said Gachagua.
He also pointed out that the Kenya Civil Aviation Authority (KCAA) raised concerns about Bomas citing that it is a flight path to Wilson Airport.
“The people from Civil Aviation opposed it, saying that the flight path to Wilson Airport is there and it will be dangerous,” the former DP remarked.
Further, he claimed that all prison lands across the country had been sold and the prisons would have to be relocated.
“All prison land has been sold. All prisons are supposed to be relocated. Even all the churches within the prisons will be demolished,” he added.
