CAPTION: Widow of the late former Juja MP George Thuo (far left) attending today’s court hearing.
The widow of the late former Juja MP, Chief Whip and Uhuru Kenyatta strongman George Thuo was in court in connection to a tender scandal involving the Kenya Pipeline Company Limited.
This website has consistently covered corruption involving KPC, which has emerged as a cash-cow for Jubilee individuals who engage in unscrupulous projects and purchases, all with the sole aim of plundering it’s coffers.
Today, the suspended MD of KPC Charles Tanui was absent in court, alleging abrupt illness, even though Judy Thuo representing Redline Limited was present in court.
It is alleged that KPC procured auto-transformers from Redline which were never delivered but payment effected. One payment was made in form of land valued at close to Kshs. 1 Billion located in Nairobi around the Chiromo area.George Thuo passed away in November of 2013 after developing a sudden disease while drinking with friends at a local pub in Thika. A few people had been arrested in connection to his death, suspected of poisoning him.
Many claim that he was a victim of the chop due to links with the ICC cases, while others claim that his wife staged it, because disloyal Kikuyu women are famous for murdering their husbands and diverting the wealth to their side of the family. Many other claim he was murdered due to his perceived interest in being the next Governor of Kiambu County.
