Wednesday, February 1, 2023 –Deputy President Rigathi Gachagua is a happy man in progress as the court decides to refund his sh 200 million which the State had seized last year.
The millions which had been forfeited by Uhuru Kenyatta’s regime claiming it was proceeds of corruption has been found to be honest earnings.
Through his able Lawyer Kioko Kilukumi and the Asset Recovery Agency ARA, Gachagua reached an agreement to settle the matter after new evidence in his favour emerged.
And today Wednesday February 1, the Court of Appeal vacated orders of the High Court that had declared the millions as graft proceeds.
In June last year, Justice Esther Maina ordered that the sh 200 million be returned back to the State; what led to freezing of several bank accounts belonging to Mr. Gachagua who by then was the Member of Parliament MP Mathira Constituency.
