On Friday, 28th June 2019, the High Court ruled that the Ruaraka land where two schools, Drive Inn Primary & Ruaraka High School sit is public.
This is the same land where then Education CS Fred Matiang’i and the windy-looking PS Belio Kipsang purchased from conman Francis Mburu of Afrison Exports and Imports Limited for over Kshs. 1.5 billion.
In short the government bought land that it already owns and indeed Matiang'i and his team shouldn't have paid for this. Francis Mburu, Afrison Limited.
But you know how Kenyan State officers roll. There are kickbacks that might have been involved.
