Does Deputy President own Koilel Farm? Was the farm paid cash illegally initially intended for farmers? 

Charangany Member Of Parliament Joshua Kutuny is breathing fire this week and he is not mincing his words in linking DP Ruto to the maize scandal in which fictitious companies were paid cash belonging to farmers from the Kenya Cereals and Produce Board.

Kutuny insists that one of the farms paid cash illegally [Koilel Farm] belongs to William Ruto or is heavily linked to him with a google search indicating that there could be a link.

Alfred Keter (Nandi Hills), Joshua Kutuny (Cherangany) and Silas Tiren (Moiben) ganged up on Saturday and demanded that the DP be probed for the maize and fertilizer scandals that have rocked the country in the recent past.

“What we know is that these problems are because of the DP and his office,” Mr Keter, a long-time critic of Mr Ruto, alleged without adducing any evidence of the allegation.

Ruto’s allies have come up to defend the Deputy President saying that the MPs have been paid to ensure that the DP does not see 2022.

“We should not blame the DP now and then about the maize issue when he has an obligation to protect all farmers. It is the MPs from the maize zone who have let farmers down by not sponsoring motions in Parliament for more funds to be allocated for purchase of maize by the government.” Nandi Senator Samson Cherargei said.

The press Secretary in the office of the DP Emmanuel Talam told the Sunday Nation that they were hoping the lawmakers would provide evidence to support their allegations.

“How do I comment on mere allegations that someone says another one stole? Let them give you the evidence then we can talk,” he said.

In August, the anti-corruption commission arrested five senior managers of the cereals board, national government officials and prominent farmers in North Rift over the Sh2 billion maize purchase scandal and taken to the EACC North Rift regional headquarters in Eldoret.

Seven officials in total were affected by the scandal that hit farmers hard with EACC investigators pursuing seven other suspects over the irregular purchase of maize and payments resulting in loss of about Sh1.9 billion.

With this matter unfolding, only time will tell.
