Lawyer Harun Ndubi, who was once arrested for drink-driving is under fire on social media for making a statement while drunk.
Harun Ndubi, who is top lawyer Professor Tom Ojienda’s lawyer argues that Mumias Sugar Company, which was supposedly defrauded, has not complained.
“You cannot have investigators coming to rummage through clients’ files yet there is no complaint. Mumias Sugar is a private company with 80 per cent shareholding by private entities and individuals and only 20 per cent owned by the government. It has not complained against Ojienda,” Harun Ndubi argues
But netizens seem to disagree with Harun Ndubi’s assertations
A Twitter user Yotesime Sam argued in a tweet that
Mumias is a Public Limited Company subject to & regulated by Companies Act, the government is the majority shareholder. So the govt can bring an action against Mumias looters, thieves, Fraudsters, Conmen on behalf of the shareholders(Farmers) & Ndubi is still drunk to know.

The Nairobi based lawyers, probably are the worst enemies kenyans have as far as the fight against corruption is concerned. I always admired Tom Ojienda until the day I saw him appear in court alongside the müller for one Manager linked to a serious scandal.
Another social media user said
Besides murdering farmers' dreams those who looted mumias also killed shareholders' dreams- mine included. DPP should go after professionals, CEOs and staff of all failed private and public companies. Remember brokers like Discount, Nyaga, KQ, ARM, Sacco's like Ekeza, Good life?
