UHURU goes after SONKO’s Sh500 million amassed illegally in 2 years as he tightens noose on the corrupt – This may be the end of the flamboyant ......
Jul 6, 2020
Monday July 6, 2020 – Nairobi Governor Mike Sonko is under investigation over allegations of illegally making Ksh500 million in just two years.
The Assets Recovery Agency (ARA) is pursuing Sonko for reportedly amassing millions between August 2017 and December 2019.
In documents before the high court, the agency claims that the source of the Governor’s wealth was questionable and it was stashed in 10 bank accounts.
The statement was recorded by the agency in response to the Governor’s application seeking to prevent his accounts from being frozen.
“It has been in the public domain that the respondent has been philanthropic in making donations which only shows that he is capable of providing for his living expenses, therefore, the preservation orders will not cause him any hardship or deprive his means to provide for his living expenses,” argued the agency.
The agency further accused the Governor of engaging in smurfing, a technique in which huge chunks of money are subdivided into small amounts and deposited in multiple accounts in different banks by different people.
The deposits reportedly started on August 17, 2017, where the accounts associated with Sonko received Ksh30 million in 24 transactions.
The smallest transaction was pegged at Ksh175,000.
Four days later, a further Ksh8.8 million was deposited in the accounts while subdivided in 11 transactions.
