Ruto on 300 000 000 theft

William Ruto accused the AG of leaving out government officials in a transaction case where Kenya Pipeline Company lost Shs300M in a land deal.

Ruto's lawyer Katwa Kigen told Justices Jean Gacece, Leonard Njagi and Roslyn Wendo that the AG selectively charged him with stealing over 300 million from KPC while the transaction involved over 16 government officials.

Ruto who is charged alongside Baringo Central MP Sammy Komen Mwaita and former President Moi's aide Joshua Kulei told the court that the AG was motivated by ulterior motives and not the interest of criminal justice.

They are together with their five companies accused of committing the offense between July and September 2001 in Nairobi.

The attorney General through Senior Principal State counsel Vincent Wohoro will reply to the application on Tuesday.
