RUTO’s office is a den of corruption full of conmen and women – See how MUSINGA and NGEI were conned a whopping Sh180 million just like that in the DP’s office

 Friday, January 22, 2021 – Deputy President William Ruto’s office has been identified as a corruption den where underhand and unscrupulous dealings take place.

Testifying in court yesterday, a businessman revealed how people with access to the Office of the Deputy President (ODP) conned his business partner Ksh180 million in a fake laptop tender.

Charles Musinga narrated before Nairobi Chief Magistrate Martha Mutuku, that he and his partner Stephen Ngei had been approached by one of the suspects, Augustine Matata, who advised them to apply for a new tender to supply 2,800 laptops valued at Ksh180 million.

Intrigued by the offer, Musinga noted their company, Makindu Motors Limited, applied for the tender.

He further told the court that his team received information that they had been shortlisted for the tender project on May 18, 2018.

Soon after, they were contacted by Matata who arranged a meeting at Ole Sereni hotel between Musinga, Ngei and a woman identified as Ms Muhoro.

According to the businessman, Muhoro claimed to be in charge of the procurement business at the DP’s office. 

After the introduction, she promised to arrange another meeting at the DP’s office at Harambee House Annex to finalise the proceedings of the tender.

Two weeks later, they were invited to the ODP by Muhoro where they were escorted to Third Floor, Room 3, which they accessed using the VIP lift.

During the meeting, Musinga testified that they signed a nondisclosure agreement where Ngei agreed to finance the purported tender.

The two businessmen soon found a supplier on June 28, 2018.

Feeling unperturbed about the matter, they delivered the laptops to the neighboring Treasury building as per Muhoro’s instructions.

The witness told the court he felt confident about the deal and didn’t suspect any dubious dealings.

He thought the laptops would be delivered to the DP’s office according to the agreement.

Matata is among the six suspects charged with three counts of fraud and malicious intent.

Ruto’s office has been synonymous with fake deals that end up costing people money and lives like the Sh40 billion fake arms deal where Ruto’s friend, Rashid Echesa, conned foreigners millions of money.
