Blow To Ruto As Close Friend, Waluke Is Sentenced to 7 Years In Jail Or Pay Ksh 590 Million.

William Ruto’s close ally and Srisia MP John Waluke, and co-accused Grace Sarapay Wakhungu appeared in court on Thursday, June 25 for sentencing after being found guilty of fraud in a Ksh297 million maize scandal. 

In her ruling, Magistrate Elizabeth Juma ruled that Waluke must pay a fine of Ksh 594,175,000 or face a jail sentence of seven years on the third count.

Similarly, Wakhungu was ordered to pay the same amount which is double the amount that NCPB lost in the case.

Juma ordered that the conviction for Waluke be served to the speaker of the National Assembly and the Public Service Commission (PSC)

She further noted that if the fine is paid, NCPD will be compensated for the amount lost.

This development is a further blow to Deputy President William Ruto whose allies have been on the receiving end.
