NAIROBI, Kenya, Feb 4 – The High Court has refused to lift an order freezing cash and assets worth over half billion shillings belonging to a senior official at a public road’s agency.
Benson Muteti Musila made an application before Justice Esther Maina that the court lifts the orders on basis that the Ethics and Anti-Corruption Commission has no evidence that he made the cash illegally through corruption and bribery.
He is accused of collecting 1 billion of unexplained wealth and property and stated that they cannot be linked to corruption.
Muteti who is the Coastal Region Manager of Kenya Rural Roads Authority was charged with a forfeiture suit on July 28,2021.
He was also accused of getting kickbacks from contractors and also awarded State tenders to a company associated with his brother.
The vast properties are managed by his spouse, Zipporah Mwongeli.
