Deputy President William Ruto has finally come out clean fake military arms tender that was allegedly procured from his Harambee Annex office.
In a statement issued on Monday evening by his communication office, DP Ruto distanced himself from the scandal in which former Sports Cabinet Secretary Rashid Eachesa is largely involved.
Ruto says he was not in the office when Echesa and two other foreigners visited his office.
The DP has also stated that Echesa lacked an appointment with him on the material day when they visited his office to ‘seal the deal.’
When Echesa and company got wind that DP Ruto was working from his Karen home instead of Harambee Annex, they bolted out of the reception according to DP’s statement.
The group had been holed up inside the Annex office between 9:39 and 10:02, making it a total of 23 minutes.
Echesa has since been released on a Ksh1 million bail together with Clifford Okoth Onyango, Daniel Otieno Omondi and Kennedy Oyoo Mboya.
DP Ruto said his office has been cooperating with detectives drawn from Directorate of Criminal Investigations and that all the CCTV footages had been made available for review.
On February 15, DCI detectives raided the houses of Echesa where they recovered two guns and more than a hundred rounds of ammunition.

nothing like Justice in Kenya's electoral body.this greediest must vacate the office
Your Comment : I have now believed that we do not have an independent electoral and boundaries commission , instead we have a congregation of greedy individuals out to misuse Kenyans and bring chaos to our country. #Remove them. #clean the top leadership.
Congratulations to Governor Mutua,you really deserve to lead in the best performing governors,,, those ranked last should be dealt with accordingly for misappropriating public funds
Raila was the hunter now the hunted... how do trust a hyena like Uhuru.. You both greedy... you dug your grave lie in it... What handshake.. Crap...
Babu aje zake,handshake is for all Kenyans, and Kibra believe in handshake, there4, Uhuru And Raila should have different candidates and whoever Will go through Will be thé product of handshake
Babu waja ukoloni bwana, there's no direct ticket
Hehehe, supporting somebody was not an agreement in the handshake my friends!! Remember Raila caused many to die during the era of maandamano hence Uhuru devised a method how to tame this power hungry man!! Mariga must win
Your Raila and uhuru come from different political party,. Everyone is free to handle his party issues and i salute the president for supporting mariga being the jubilee candidate. Raila is also supporting the odm candidate and no one is against that. Some people are taking handshake as political party while it's not. Please mr mp style up.
