Social Media users on Wednesday praised Mzee Adrian Muteshi for fighting off DP William Ruto who grabbed his 100-acre land during the 2007-2008 post-election violence.
Facebook, Twitter and Whatsapp users termed Muteshi as a “hero and a true fighter” who put up a spirated fight against DP William Ruto.
“86-year old Mzee Muteshi has gone to be with his maker. He is the man known for battling Deputy President William Ruto who had grabbed his land in the aftermath of 2007/08 post-election violence sending the man to an IDP camp. In the end the high court ordered Ruto to return the 100-acre land and compensate him Sh5 million for illegal occupation!”
“IN an early post yesterday, I asked what it would mean for William Ruto to donate a wheelbarrow to Andria Muteshi for his farm work. Muteshi the man whose land he had grabbed. I didn’t ofcourse, anticipate that it would be the day Muteshi would depart the world.
Go well sir. Yours is a story of life struggle and real counter between the poor and rich, the mighty and the weak. It’s a story that shall never leave our lips and those of our children and their children. Farewell and RIP”
“Pumzika Mzee Muteshi. Hulukha Omwami. On earth, you were mistreated, harassed and your land taken away from you because at the time, you were unwanted where you lived. The world is changing, as you do to rest with the Lord, know that the generations you have left behind will not suffer and go through what you went through. RIP Mzee Muteshi”
