The wanted Jubilee party sponsor Mary Wambui Mungai, a businesswoman who is at the center of the KSh2.2 billion tax evasion case has finally surrendered herself to the authorities.

It is reported that the businesswoman and her daughter Purity Njoki Mungai, the directors of Purma Holding Limited arrived in court donning hijabs in the company of their new lawyer Nelson Havi.

The men in blue uniform have been pursuing the fugitive woman for weeks now after she failed to appear before the court prompting the issuance of a warrant of arrest against her.

Efforts by the Police officers to nab Mungai on Wednesday, December 8, night bored no fruits as the woman and her daughter left William Ruto’s Weston Hotel where she had been hiding minutes before the police arrived.

Kenya Revenue Authority in a statement said Wambui, alongside Purity Njoki Mungai, escaped from their hotel rooms a few minutes before the police and KRA officers arrived to arrest them.

“The two, Mary Wambui Mungai and Purity Njoki Mungai escaped from their hotel rooms a few minutes before KRA officers and the police arrived to arrest them,” the taxman said.

Mungai who is a member of the Friends of Jubilee Foundation lobby which raised millions of shillings for President Uhuru Kenyatta’s re-election campaign in 2017 in less than two hours skipped court to answer to charges of failing to pay taxes between 2014 and 2020 amounting to over KSh 2.2 billion.
