Police, army clear Mwau over drug claims

By Steve MkawaleSecurity forces have said there is no evidence linking Kilome MP Harun Mwau with drug trafficking as alleged by former American Ambassador Michael Ranneberger.
According to court documents obtained by The Standard, the police and the Kenya Army have no evidence, which would support the Ranneberger allegations. 

Director of Operations at Police Headquarters Julius Ndegwa said in a sworn affidavit that investigations into the allegations have revealed there was no case which was reported to support claims that Mwau was involved in money laundering, tax evasion and smuggling.
"No containers have ever been impounded or seized by the Kenya Police at Athi River on allegations of having cocaine," read the affidavit that has been filed at the High Court in Nairobi in a case in which Mwau has sued the Attorney General and Ranneberger. 

Colonel Hosea Odour of the Kenya Army, who is the Base Commander, also denied the allegations.
" There is no evidence or material documents to be produced by the Ministry of State for Defence relating to the allegations.
