The hotel referred to as Kitui Villa, was formerly the lawyer’s home.

Mr Odinga who was the guest of honour as Mutua launched the Villa encouraged Kenyans abroad to invest at home.

"Mama  and I were joined by  leader  at the launch of Kitui Villa which is owned by Law professor . I would like to appeal to Kenyans in the diaspora to invest in the counties," he said.

In March 2018, Prof Mutua announced his home would be converted into a hotel.
