Kenya is officially no longer safe for corrupt officials as Noordin Haji is constantly on their necks demanding they spill all they have consumed of ordinary Kenyan’s hard work.You can now be guaranteed of nightmares of if you dare misbehave in the public offices.
In yet another fierce war,the director of public prosecutions has approved money laundering and four other charges against management, trustees and an advocate of the Kenya Ports Authority Retirement Benefits Scheme, 2012.
The case concerns the fraudulent sale agreement for the purchase of 100 acres of land in Kikambala, Kilifi County, at Sh700 million.
In a statement on Wednesday, DPP Noordin Haji said there was sufficient evidence to sustain charges of conspiracy to engage in corruption, breach of public trust, abuse of office, fraudulent acquisition of public property and dealing with suspect property.
Chairman Fredrick Otieno Oyugi will face the first three charges.
Lawyer Joseph Kanyi, of Kanyi J & Company Advocates. and Kikambala Development Company Limited director Jane Njeri Karanja will be charged with conspiracy and money laundering.
Mr Kanyi alone will be arraigned on the allegation of fraudulent acquisition of property.
The others who will face the conspiracy to commit corruption charge are Maurice Milimu Amahwa (pension administrator), and trustees John Karema, Renson Thoya Juma, Harry Arigi and Joy Asiena.
The Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission submitted its first report on the investigation on July 1, 2016 but Mr Haji asked for a further probe to determine whether there were additional charges.
The second report was presented to the office of the DPP on August 7, 2018.
Mr Haji asked the commission to “ensure immediate arraignment” of the suspects.
Do you believe the suspects will be successfully prosecuted with enough and tight evidence in Maraga’s courts?
