Financial Backers of William Ruto Revealed
In a significant turn of events, a high-profile court case has been initiated to make the 'empowerment' battalion led by Deputy President Kithure Kindiki account for the source of the funds. The battalion, associated with the Kenya Kwanza government, has been under scrutiny for handing out cash.
The case, being heard by High Court Judge Chacha Mwita, has named several key figures in the Kenyan political landscape. These include President William Ruto's aide, Farouk Kibet, Prime Cabinet Secretary Musalia Mudavadi, Speaker of the National Assembly Moses Wetangula, and Majority Leader in the National Assembly Kimani Ichungwah. The court case specifically centres on Kindiki being questioned about the empowerment funds, but the broader initiative involved prominent Kenya Kwanza leaders in fund distribution and support at grassroots events.
Other individuals named in the context of the empowerment initiative events linked to Kenya Kwanza include President William Ruto and National Assembly Majority Leader Amos Kimunya Ichung’wah, both of whom contributed substantial sums during empowerment events, as well as Governor Susan Kihika, who presided over some related events. However, no other specific individuals were named as defendants or parties in the court case within the found information.
