David Muge is not your usual vocal politician but a close confidant of the DP Ruto who has cut many deals for. Chances are, you might have not heard about his name or perhaps read his initial story we did that broke the waters.
Just to demonstrate how powerful Muge has been, he’s the man who signed the controversial deal between Zakhem and Kenya Pipeline, how he did this despite the fact that he wasn’t a KPC employee, nobody knows. According to a leaked intelligence report Muge was named as a leading face in the multi billion corruption scandals that rocked KPC.
Muge is also at the center of the laptops for school children in yet another controversial deal he cut with Portuguese businessmen. Muge who has a palatial home in Karen suspected to have been bought off by the proceeds from Zakhem deal, prefers living silently away from media view but moves major behind scenes.
On the 10 First Floor, Kenya Re Towers in Upper Hill where Muge spends most of his time of not at his Karen home construction, he’s at Trident Heights Riara where he’s building a 2 block apartments which is built under Netai Ltd a company associated with his girlfriend Nancy Tai or in Eldoret where he’s also building a home.
Great Rift Coffee was a huge project started by David Muge the vet doctor from London recently exposed on KenyaInsights as the middleman between Zakhem and Ruto, an arrangement to protect and conceal Ruto’s involvement.
Huge backhanders were filtered through stooge companies such as Clifton Energy International and looted money has already been spent on impressive projects like Great Rift Coffee. This project was cleverly disguised on the Great Rift website (now disappeared!).
It misleadingly portrayed Muge as a generous diaspora bringing home the spoils of his successful business in the UK to invest in Kenya. But since his UK companies have not made any significant profit in the UK according to the publicly filed accounts there, something doesn’t add up.
Now the factory rather than grinding coffee has ground to a halt. Why. Has the money from Zakhem dried up now Joe Sang and co have been arrested. Or has Ruto ordered everyone should lie low and keep a low profile until this blows over. How long will it take Kenyans to forget Muge?
Perhaps local Kalenjin farmers feel let down and robbed by their own and are unwilling to supply coffee. What is the involvement of Nancy Tai pictured above with Muge at the opening ceremony. Is money laundered through the company they own together, Netai Limited.
Kenya Insights contacted Zakhem bosses who abruptly assured us that dealings with Muge were not up for discussion. There was no way of proving any fraud they said. Other than confirming his involvement this did little to reassure us.
We want real answers. We want to know why Ruto assigned a London vet doctor to sign this deal. Unless they can reply with a good reason then the obvious conclusion is corruption.
Where did Great Rift money come from?
Why is Zakhem keen to cover up for Muge?
KenyaInsights demands answers.
Cc EACC and DCI …. PLEASE WAKE UP and smell the coffee!!! Freeze dry Great Rift assets pending full financial investigation. If it is above board then we’ll welcome freeze dried Great Rift coffee.
Deputy President Dr. William Ruto has been selected to be the first speaker at the Warwick Africa Summit in February 2019 in London. The summit will be hosted by the Warwick University. The theme of the event is ‘We Face forward’ which is meant to encourage young Africans to focus on the future. Ironical to have a man of questionable reputation to lecture in such a subject.
Closer sources hints to Kenya Insights that Muge will be accompanying the DP. We’re therefore reaching out to the Warwick University and UK Government to task and ask them serious and legitimate accountability questions.
Muge being a holder of UK citizenship, has been an asset in so many ways being able to move around the world in cutting their questionable deals with ease. He’s also been used to import top of the range cars. UK government as a partner with Kenya, need to investigate Muge who’s their citizen as well and ascertain the legitimacy of his wealth. As we move on, Kenya Insights will be releasing more details on his questionable wealth and deeper look into controversial deals like that of Zakhem and the Laptops.
DCI have launched investigations on KPC corruption and we hope this will go to net illegally acquired wealth like its suspected of Muge, police must break the bubble and determine why Muge signed deal with Zakhem despite not being an employee and study his transactions line which we will breakdown as far as from Dubai. Serious loopholes in the procurement process that must be punished. We ask EACC and relevant authorities to give us an ear and more so to recover the stolen public funds. Standby for Part 2.
