Former President Uhuru Kenyatta Breaks Silence On Northlands Farm Destruction

Posted on by Dennis Elnino

Former President Uhuru Kenyatta broke his nearly two-month silence on the destruction of property at his family’s Northlands Farm in March 2023. In a statement released on Saturday, May 21, Kenyatta condemned the invasion of his farm and called for the perpetrators to be brought to justice.

“I am deeply saddened and angered by the destruction of property at my family’s Northlands Farm,” Kenyatta said. “This is a clear violation of the law and a threat to the rule of law in our country. I call on the authorities to swiftly investigate this matter and bring the perpetrators to justice.”

The invasion of Northlands Farm took place on March 27, 2023. A group of people, believed to be supporters of Deputy President William Ruto, stormed the farm and set fire to several buildings. The farm is located in Kiambu County, about 20 kilometers from Nairobi.

The invasion of Northlands Farm was condemned by a wide range of Kenyans, including politicians, religious leaders, and civil society groups. The incident was seen as a sign of the growing political polarization in Kenya ahead of the 2022 general election.

In his statement, Kenyatta called on Kenyans to remain calm and to uphold the rule of law. He also urged the authorities to take steps to ensure that such an incident does not happen again.

“I call on all Kenyans to remain calm and to uphold the rule of law,” Kenyatta said. “I also urge the authorities to take steps to ensure that such an incident does not happen again.”

The invasion of Northlands Farm is a serious matter that has the potential to destabilize Kenya. It is important that the authorities take swift action to investigate the incident and bring the perpetrators to justice.

During the campaign,President Uhuru Kenyatta said he is confident of winning the August 8 polls with an overwhelming majority because he enjoys more support than he did in 2013 when he defeated his rival with more than 800,000 votes.

The President said he won the 2013 election while he was burdened with false accusations at the International Criminal Court and was literally in the wilderness.

He said the opposition knows it will lose the election and that is why they were busy creating excuses including their outrageous claims against the country’s security forces.

The President, who spoke at a rally at the Gusii Stadium, Kisii town, said the opposition lacks vision and has no plans to build on the progress Kenya has achieved.

“If they had a plan they would not be engaging in insults,” said the President, as he made it clear that the opposition should know that it cannot intimidate anyone with the constant threats of chaos.

He told opposition candidate Raila Odinga to stop his attacks on Acting Internal Security Cabinet Secretary Fred Matiang’i.

The President said Raila should know that Matiang’i is in charge of the country’s security.

He said the opposition was engaging in divisive politics instead of presenting an agenda that can bring progress and unity.

“They come with different messages designed to incite Kenyans. When they come to Kisii they tell you a message to incite you, when they go to another place they say some communities should be moved,” said the President.
