Baringo Senator Gideon Moi has been accused of greatly benefitting off the ongoing war between government forces and forces allied to rebel leader Riek Machar in South Sudan.
According to a recent report titled "Taking of South Sudan", Moi is among powerful international businessmen owning a number of multinational companies in the country.
It claims that Moi co-owns Lukiza Limited, a company controlled by South Sudan President Salva Kiir's daughter Adut, and which has been benefitting from war proceeds.
Lukiza is one of the firms said to be owned by Kiir and other businessmen, offering a range of services from banking to sewer management and greatly dependent on the war.
The report claims that Moi's alleged company has interests in air transport, oil sector, drilling services among others.
"Gideon Moi, an influential senator who is the son of former Kenyan President Daniel Arap Moi, has a partial ownership stake in Lukiza. Caltec’s website describes the firm as a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) to specifically engage in the provision of services in the oil sector, waste management, drilling, logistics and air transportation are among the services it says it provides," reads the report.
However, Moi has been irked by the findings, insisting that he is not a beneficiary of the war as is being alleged.
Through his spokesman Alex Kiprotich, he on Sunday dismissed the claims as lies, adding that he will be suing The Sentry, the company which compiled the report.
"I am not a shareholder of the company and I have never and I am not profiting from the proceeds of war as alleged in the fictitious report. I have neither received any single cent from the government of South Sudan nor am I doing any business with the South Sudan government. My lawyers are already in the process of instituting legal proceedings against The Sentry and its authors," he said.
