A fierce DP Ruto apologist has run to his rescue after the State reopened a 25-year-old case where Ruto was accused of defrauding the Government of up to Ksh 272 million.
In the case determined in 2011, the Courts acquited DP Ruto of having irregularly sold a 1.75 ha piece of land to Kenya Pipeline Corporation.
In a Twitter post Wednesday, January, 22, former State House staffer-turned DP Ruto ally- Dennis Itumbi released a ten-point argument defending the Deputy President.
The land is reported to have been hived off Ngong Forest but Dr Ruto was let off the hook for lack of evidence linking him to the crime.
However, Itumbi maintained that the DCI had singled out only four companies out of the 36 companies involved in the saga.
He would then allege that the 32 remaining companies not mentioned in the new investigations all belong to retired President Daniel Moi.

2. There were 33 pieces of land bought by 36 COMPANIES.
3. Now DCI charged Four companies and Three Individuals in Court.

DP Ruto has been on the receiving end of an onslaught by proponents of the BBI over his stance on the unity initiative.
His latest humiliation came when he was kicked out of the Deputy President’s official residence in Mombasa after attending a function with President Uhuru Kenyatta.
