A company owned by Deputy President William Ruto’s family is among 62 companies being investigated by the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission (EACC) in connection with the alleged Sh5.6 billion scandal at the National Cereals and Produce Board (NCPB).
The Star reports that Koilel Farm Limited received a payment of Sh20.8 million from NCPB for supplying 11,844 bags of maize to the Eldoret depot.
Koilel Farm is registered in the name of Ruto’s wife Rachael Chebet and son Nicholas Kipkurgat.
In a letter to the Strategic Food Reserve Trust Fund, EACC says there are reasons to investigate the company alongside 63 others that are said to have received millions of shillings for supplying maize to the government agency. EACC doesn’t however state when Koilel Farm supplied the maize to NCPB.
Speaking to the Star, Koilel farm lawyer Kipchumba Karori says the Deputy President family had 430 acres of maize in Moiben Constituency and supplied about 6,000 bags to NCPB.
“I have the clustered weight and how it was delivered and the vehicle number that delivered and the time when the vehicle checked into the Eldoret Cereals and Produce Board,” he says.
The lawyer also revealed that EACC detectives visited an agrovet in Eldoret where Koilel purchased farm inputs and received a clean bill of heath.
A section of Rift Valley MPs recently called for investigations into Ruto’s involvement in the maize scandal.
There are claims that unscrupulous business proprietors imported cheap maize into the country and sold them to NCPB at higher prices at the expense of genuine Kenyan farmers.
Kenyans, do yourself a favor…
Kenyans, do yourself a favor. DO NOT put this man in office, he is way too dirty and shamelessly hiding behind the church. Same thing Trum did. These days I don’t even attend church services, I’m very comfortable praying at home, if churches and so-called christians continue to install blood-sucking “leaders” Enough is Enough, wana Jamuhuri.
His Fellow DIRTY and…
His Fellow DIRTY and SHAMELESS will put him there again (just like in 2013 and 2017). Lord Have Mercy.?

Akionekana tena makanisani akiwahoonga matapeli, majambazi wa makanisa (pastors), ashikwe mara moja.

Lets start a twitter…
Lets start a twitter movement in #investiagteRUTOsaveKENYA.
Where everyone will list down ONLY the known properties he owns.
The people who graduated him should comment the attendance to classes and struggle experienced with him. Including the people who wrote his papers which will make His professors to come out clean.
The victims of ICC should be assisted to come up and save Kenya.
Each of those claim should go in their respective headings and no repetition allowed.
Dear KENYANS lets save our country so we don’t be like our neighbors – STOP his hustler who has many dealings…..image there were undeclared weapons at the port – who knows?

@mgeni, where does “Trum” come in? Or did you mean Trump? If so, that’s an American leftist cry baby problem. Here we are dealing with a more serious problem called UFISADI.

If NCPB paid Sh 20.8 million and received 11,844 bags, what are they investigating?
If the Maize were purchased…
If the Maize were purchased outside the country at a cheap price and sold in the country
for a high value of course. Which affected the farmers directly in many ways you can imagine

It’s because as stated:
“Koilel Farm is registered in the name of RUTO’s wife Rachael Chebet and son Nicholas Kipkurgat. Anyway….It amounted to about KShs.1,750 per Bag.

Wathiomo: @Mugikuyu; “tapeli” kwa Kiingereza ni “con artist.”zaidi ya mmoja ni – “matapeli” – con artists.
Samahani kwa kutoeleza maana ya neno hili muhimu. Nchi ya Kenya ina matapeli wengi sasa. Viongozi wa makanisa na watu tuliowachagua (elected) bungeni (in parliament) watutee (to represent us) ndio matapeli wakubwa sana na pia majambazi.
Asante Sana ndugu. Now I can…
Asante Sana ndugu. Now I can construct a sentence using the same. Kwa mfano naweza sema, @Giest 1 ni tapeli was hii dini ya ukristo. Wakiwa wengi kama hawa wafrika wanajifanya wakristo hapa Mwakilishi wakuwa matapeli.

Hebu tazameni ufisadi Kenya. Kuna sehemu nne. Utakapotazama sehemu ya kwanza, utaona sehemu ya pili, na ya tatu, na pia ya mwisho – sehemu ya nne.
Baada ya kutazama sehemu zote nne, jiulize, nchi hii kweli ina viongozi? Viongozi wa nchi ya Kenya kweli wanajali (care) au wanawafikiria wananchi wa kawaida?
Je, mkristo Uhuru na ndugu yake mkristo Ruto wako wapi? Na pia wanafanya nini?

It is time Kenyans realized…
It is time Kenyans realized there is nothing free whether it is given in churches or otherwise. If you find someone giving you something free, they are after destroying your kids, your family, your village, your community or your country. They give you 5 shillings and come for 50 shillings in the name of helping. Even those who give churches, they are corrupting the churches. The foreignors who pretend to be so generous, we must find out how they treat the blacks in their own country before they try to be generous in ours. Churches were used to colonize Abrikans and destroy our cultures. We must ask ourselves how they are being used today by politicians and foreignors to destroy our cultures. Any money received by a church should be questioned whether from a foreignor or a politician. Churches do not need money. The public should start giving money directly to the needy in their communities and Let the church only do the preaching. Kenyans never used to question the churches but those same churches have become breeding grounds of Corruption and immorality. It is time to question, analyze and each person make his or her own judgement. God give Kenya leaders not politicians. God help Kenya !!!
Many leaders in this country…
Many leaders in this country are corrupt,we should not only focus on one man each and every time that he is the most corrupt,can anyone stand a chance of proving that he is corrupt? We should not just jump into conclusions,use your brains to get rich not to seat back and fold your hands while others are working hard to make money thn u wake up calling them all sorts of names. Mostly those who are rich don’t give to churches instead they will waste there cash in bars with slay queens,let those who want to give to church give to church,giving to church does not mean you are corrupt,let God charge his pple by himself…

@Bwana: Jambo la ajabu ni…
@Bwana: Jambo la ajabu ni kuwa mkristo Ruto anafikiria kuwa rais wa Kenya! Bila shaka anafikiri Wakenya ni watu wasio na akili. Kwanza, akatazwe kwenda kanisani kwa sababu, kwa kawaida watu wanaokwenda kanisani au misikitini akili yao tayari imeshakufa! Watu hawa ndio mkristo Ruto anataka wampigie kura 2022.
Ni lazima Wafula Chebukati aondolwew kwenye IEBC kwa sababu atapokea hongo kutoka kwa mkristo Ruto halafu aseme Ruto anafaa kupigiwa kura.
sisi tunajua kuwa Ukristo ni…
sisi tunajua kuwa Ukristo ni very well organised njama wala sio dini kabisa ilianzwa kutokia wakati wa paul.
Sasa mifano mizuri tuu
ni warithi wake kama huyo hustler wanna be preso…..na kwa sababu za kibinadamu sio za Mwenye Ulimwengu itakuwa awe raisi kwa njia zote zile.
