Lots of answers are being sort after the Dusit terror attack that has definately left a mark on Kenyans closely followed by Latema explosion that was a clear indication that terror is trying to shake Kenyans who have declared unbowed against the evil.
Among the already nailed of seven suspects arraigned, one has denied allegations that he used sh 100 million to fund terrorism.The lawyer further defended his financial transactions as legitimate.
Through his lawyer Danson Omari, Abdinoor Maalim Osman said he had not registered several mobile phone numbers and the allegations by investigators were out of ignorance.“I have M-Pesa tills registered by Safaricom for purposes of carrying out M-Pesa business,” said Mr Maalim.
Maalim said the investigators did not disclose to him the specific till or sub-agents that received Sh100 million to enable him know the nature of the allegations.
“Each till issued to a third party can transact a maximum of Sh1 million daily, hence the alleged Sh100 million may as well be ordinary and lawful transactions by third parties’ sub-contractors, who I have issued and operate aggregated tills,” added Maalim.
The suspect said the only way he could know of a wrongdoing by a third party was through notification by Safaricom PlC, but which he had not received.
“The allegations that I have received Sh100 million are baseless and are formed out of lack of understanding of how the tills work,” the lawyer said in his replying affidavit.
