Jubilee financier wanted for KSh 2 billion tax arrears was close to Ruto

by Enock Ndayala

Fugitive Jubilee financier Mary Wambui Mungai was a close associate to Deputy President William Ruto, it has emerged.

According to a report in the People Daily Newspaper, her close associations with the deputy president saw Ruto reassign some of his elite GSU officers to Mungai, a move that could have led to a change of guard at William Ruto’s official residences.

While appearing before the National Assembly’s Committee on Administration and National Security on Wednesday, September 1, Matiang’i said Ruto had reassigned the elite GSU attached to him to guard criminals including Mungai.

Fugitive Jubilee party financier Mary Wambui Mungai was a close associate to Deputy President William Ruto, it has emerged.

The taxman is in search of shadowy businesswoman Mary Mungai, a member of the Friends of Jubilee Foundation lobby which raised millions of shillings for President Uhuru Kenyatta’s re-election campaign in 2017.

Wambui who is suspected to be out of the country is facing multiple cases in the courts and police investigations, ranging from KSh 2.2 billion tax evasion to acquiring tenders running into billions of shillings fraudulently.

In the latest case, an anti-corruption court has issued a warrant of arrest for the tenderpreneur and her daughter, Purity, who are being sought for failing to appear in court over a case in which they are accused of failing to pay taxes amounting to Sh2.2 billion.

Chief Magistrate Felix Mutinda Kombo on Monday, December 6, ordered the police to track down the two and arraign them over contempt of court after they failed to honor court summons.

In new tactics to nab the suspect, the Kenya Revenue Authority has issued alerts to seal airports including the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (JKIA), and border points to arrest the businesswoman once she jets back into the country.
