 Deputy President William Ruto early this week made whirlwind trip to the Republic of Sudan, where incidentally he has made several clandestine trips in the last one year, Kenyan News Day can reliably reveal.

Ahead of his trip to Sudan, the DP sought the use of Kenya Air Force VIP aircraft, a request that was promptly declined by State House, forcing the DP to charter a private jet from Phoenix Aviation, registration 5Y-WHB Cessna 560XL Citation Excel.

The privately chartered jet flew Ruto and his entourage to Khartoum and parked at the Airport overnight as the DP took another private jet to Atbara airport.

What raised eyebrows was Ruto’s requirement for a military jet whose overfly permit would have to be obtained by the Ministry of Defence leading state intelligence to flag the trip which was deemed suspicious since the request for military aircraft was seen as a means to avoid customs inspections and other security scrutiny that commercial flights usually undergo.

From Nairobi, Ruto’s flight made a brief stopover in Khartoum with his ultimate destination being the North-Eastern city of Atbara, which has for decades been the retreat of former President Omar Hassan al-Bashir.

At Khartoum airport, Ruto’s entourage was transferred onto another luxury private Dassault Falcon 50 N633W, now registered VP-CDG under Win Aviation and flying for Dal Group belonging to Sudanese agriEXCLUSIVE: Unravelling Ruto’s huge money laundering trip to Republic of Sudan
