Deputy President William Ruto may be back in the corridors of justice after the officers reopened an old land fraud case in which the DP is alleged to have defrauded a government agency of Ksh 272 million.
The Standard, on Wednesday, January 22, reported that nine years ago (2011), Ruto and his co-accused were acquitted of selling land to Kenya Pipeline Corporation which the Government argued was hived off Ngong Forest. The three were let go due to lack of evidence.
People Daily added that the sale of the 1.75 hectares of land was ungazetted.
Ruto and Berke Commercial agencies, linked to former President Daniel arap Moi’s private secretary Joshua Kulei and former Baringo Central MP Sammy Mwaita, alongside two other firms were sued for allegedly obtaining money from KPC between August 6 and September 6, 2001.
“I appeared before the detective on Monday. They wanted to know the names of directors of the firms and how much they each received. They also asked for documentation on the sale agreement.
“All these were on trial in the case prosecuted by then CID from 2004 to 2011. The DCI couldn’t say the motive for the unorthodox attempt to re-open the case,” Kigen stated.
Out the Kshs 272 million, Ruto had been suspected to have bagged Ksh 43 million.
“The contention of selling land without being procedurally excised from Ngong Forest was the basis of drafting the charges. The letter to hive off the forest land was signed by the then Forestry minister and 33 parcels of land allocated to various companies, and the consent to hive off part of the forest were obtained from the Commissioner of Lands.
“The prosecution failed to produce in court the then Finance ManagerHellen Njue to give her evidence on how she paid out the money. It is, therefore, clear that none of the accused ever received any money from KPC. The prosecution has failed to prove its case, thus all the accused persons have no case to answer,” Chief Magistrate Gilbert Mutembei stated.
A source who spoke to The Standard while seeking anonymity disclosed that several individuals, including a High Court judge, had been lined up for grilling, however, the DCI had not yet decided to grill Ruto.
“For now, not yet. But if and when need be, we will cross the bridge. We are now on those who handled the issue,” the source intimated.

DP be encouraged with the wisdom that is on the Holy Bible.
Your schemes have proved to the world, that your support during their election was very important and the looser has realised their misfortunes was as a result you left them to run their own show.
It’s a fact you are a blessed with wisdom and knowledge against all those who have now joined forces to bring you down and making all project your initiated don’t kick off to the benefits of the intended citizens of the republic of Kenya.
If you and all these evil schemer we before Jesus as the lady found prostituting and the same question asked to them, if they no crime be the fast to stone you. In actual fact, all these schemes are as evil as Lucifer. Today, they’ve come up with the scripts from Lucifer in the name of BBI. BBI will not solve the problems in Kenya. It’s a script of the same devils who never resign from power and party each election, when they are not relevant to any nation on each and the citizens of the republic of Kenya.
Heavenly Father, if you are lessening, please run down all the schemes of these evil people who have plotted the downfall of the DP and are planning to introduce Lucifer script to the citizens of Kenya. May you open the eyes of all voter citizens and Bolden them and open their eyes so that they see all the schemes of these children of the devil. Bring them down one by one each minute that passes. It’s better for the Republic of Kenya, that you take back the gift of breath, that they never plan any evil earthly bills that don’t promote the free will of life a cross all the land of Kenya. LORD, we the citizen of Kenya have had enough of these people. Bless Kenya and protect Kenya against these children of the devil. We claim and receive our prayer request in you Holy Name. Amen and Amen.

Newspapers should note they are the worst inciters of Kenyans. When five5(5) are a party in a suit, How come Mr. DP Ruto makes the Headline. Newspapers should find other ways to market their trash and leave Mr. Ruto alone. This is pure harassment financed by his enimies.Shaitani Washindwe.

JANUARY 22, 2020 AT 8:00 PM AND Marianki; ====> Please lets stop ,MISUSING THE BIBLE AND GOD’S WORD. God is not a tyrant like your godfather and kingpin. Go back to history and you will discover that he has never offered anything good to Kenya. He has always opposed all THAT IS GOOD FOR THIS COUNTRY, AND THEN IT ENDS UP BENEFITING HIM.
He opposed Multiparty, Kibaki, The New Constitution, etc. But all HAVE BENEFITED HIM IMMENSELY. Do your research.
Don’t call what is evil good, and evil, good. What man sows he will reap in due season.
Isaiah 5:20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter
Shalom.
