Rigathi Gachagua Loses Ksh.202 Million To a Court Ruling

The Mathira MP Rigathi Gachagua’s accounts were blocked, and the High Court ordered that Sh202 million be turned over to the government.

Four accounts created at a neighborhood bank included Sh202 million in cash that was allegedly the profits of corruption.

This is a setback for William Ruto’s running mate, who had previously stated that if he won the lawsuit, he would use the funds to build a house.

While the MP acknowledged receiving money from government organizations, Justice Esther Maina noted that there was no evidence that he gave the government any goods or services.

“I have carefully considered the evidence on record including affidavits, annexures and submissions by all parties and I am satisfied that the funds are liable for forfeiture to the government,” she ruled.
