Bomet Governor, Isaac Ruto, is among 10 Governors who are adversely mentioned by the Ethics and Anti Corruption Commission (EACC) in connection with misappropriating millions of shillings that belong to the good people of Bomet County.
According to an EACC dossier that was recently handed over to parliament by President Uhuru Kenyatta, Ruto, who is also the Chairman of the Council of Governors, is accused of looting over Sh 800 million shillings.
With this money, he bought 40 earth movers worth Sh 400 million for his construction company, a chopper worth Sh 300 million to help him move around and a palatial house worth Sh 33 million.
“Allegations of accumulating immense wealth including: 40 earth movers/ tippers / graders all estimated at Sh 400 million, a chopper worth Sh 300 million, and a palatial house worth Sh 33 million. He also operates several petrol stations,” part of the dossier reads.
Ruto however maintained that he is innocent and he will not resign because he is not a thief.
