The controversy surrounding the establishment of Bomet University
escalated further after elders in the County rejected President Uhuru
Kenyatta’s lease certificate to the university saying it was fake.
Speaking in Bomet yesterday, the elders
blasted Uhuru accusing him of duping Kalenjins with a land lease for the
establishment of the university which is fake, considering that it originated
from the Ministry of Finance instead of the Ministry of Lands, through the
National Land Commission (NLC), which is the only mandated body to issue land
leases.

Besides, the President should have
issued a land title deed instead of a lease certificate. They termed Uhuru’s
move as ‘the joke of the year’.
However, the elders blamed Deputy
President William Ruto and County MPs for duping the President to issue a fake
land lease for a university that does not exist just for political expediency.
“We condemn the whole charade by a
section of leaders who gave the President a false document. The title is
purportedly issued to Bomet University College, an institution that is
non-existent,” said William Kettienya.
The elders maintained that the President
should have consulted Governor Isaac Ruto before issuing such a certificate
saying they will not be party to such illegality.
“The leasor is in the dark and we
wonder how this was done. There is no land in Bomet town that matches the
hectares stated in the lease certificate,” Kettienya said.
